191, selling madness

She knew what Zhu Jianchen's sentence "The eldest princess Chitose" meant, which meant that Zhu Jianchen was willing to do what she said.

If not, how could Zhu Jianchen's temperament bow to her.

Jian Huaizhen knew that Zhu Jianchen was an unconventional person, and he was willing to agree to pretend to be crazy and stupid to survive the disaster, mostly because his sincerity moved him.

But no matter what, it is always a good thing to be able to preserve the blood for the royal family.

After Jian Huaizhen chatted with Zhu Jianchen, he walked out of Nannei and returned to Wan'an Palace.

As a result, the next day, there was a news in the palace, which said that the prince Zhu Jianchen was crazy, and he was even crazy, and his madness made people feel very proud when they saw it.

When the news reached Zhu Jianshen's ears, Zhu Jianshen didn't want to believe it, he snorted coldly, and said: "When I was about to suspect this Zhu Jianchen, he went crazy at this time. If I believe him, I'll be a fool. ”

Gu Lengyi also whispered to Zhu Jianshen on the side: "Your Majesty, indeed, this Zhu Wang Ye has not heard of his madness in Nannei for so long, why is he suddenly crazy now?" According to what the slaves saw, it was not impossible for the emperor to demolish him. ”

"Oh, what's the solution?"

"The so-called wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, as long as the emperor calls the people around him to ask about his situation, then this rumor can be self-defeating."

"But what if everyone around him is bought by him?" Zhu Jianshen's eyes had a deep ink color, looking at Gu Lengyi.

Gu Leng thought for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a palace maid by Zhu Jianchen's side, and that palace maid was originally from this harem pulp wash, but I don't know who transferred her to Nannei to serve her. The little palace maid had only been serving him for a long time, and she must not have surrendered to him. If you call the little palace maid over, you must be able to find out something from her mouth. ”

"Okay, then you can go quickly."

So, Nagu Lengyi personally went to Nannei to recruit him for questioning.

After walking over, he hurriedly knelt down for Zhu Jianshen.

She knelt down and said timidly: "The slave is to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Zhu Jianshen looked up and saw a girl in a purple shirt kneeling below.

The girl looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, very petite and lovely, with round eyes, but a gloomy look on her face, and she looked very sincere, different from the concubines he usually saw in this palace.

Zhu Jianshen saw it in a moment, and it took him half a day to come back to his senses because he was confused.

Gu Leng reminded from the side and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Jianshen settled down, and then turned to ask him: "Okay, I have something to ask you." ”

"Your Majesty, if there is anything, just ask, and if you know, you must know everything."

Zhu Jianshen asked with interest, "Then I ask you why your name is called?" What does that mean? ”

Gu Lengyi almost vomited blood when he heard it on the side, he didn't expect that at this critical moment, Zhu Jianshen would actually think about this story of wind and snow.

Then he said to him very seriously: "Your Majesty, my name is because of a sentence when is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past." ”

"What spring flowers and autumn moon when, how much do you know about the past?" Zhu Jianshen's eyes gradually had a sharp murderous color.

This fell in Gu Lengyi's eyes, and Gu Lengyi felt incredible.

Zhu Jianshen continued to ask: "Now that you accompany Zhu Jianchen on weekdays, what kind of person do you think my Emperor Jianchen is?" ”

After thinking about it, he said, "The prince is a difficult person to figure out. The prince usually acts a little crazy, and he doesn't look like a normal person at all, but now he seems to be more and more crazy. In fact, the slave maid has always felt that this is not that the prince is really crazy, but that his way of dealing with people is different from ordinary people. ”

As he spoke, he tilted his head sideways, and his two big eyes sparkled, with a pure and dustless look in his eyes.

After Zhu Jianshen saw it, he nodded.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can step back first." Before you step down, I have one more thing I want to ask you. ”

He blinked his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "That's it, I always think that you are so beautiful, if you are in a place like Nannei, wouldn't it be a pearl to seal the dust, I want to transfer you to my side to serve, how about adding fragrance to my red sleeves?" ”

Her face suddenly turned crimson, she thought for a long time, and finally shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't agree to Your Emperor's request." ”

"What, you dare to disobey the emperor's order?" Gu Leng was intimidated on the side.

Suddenly, a shy expression appeared on her face, and she said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, I know that no one in this harem can disobey the emperor, and I can't." There is a reason why I can't come here to serve the emperor. ”

"Oh, what's the reason? Tell me about it. Zhu Jianshen asked with a smile.

Seeing Zhu Jianshen's kind face, his heart was put down.

She said to Zhu Jianshen timidly: "Your Majesty, I think that being a man should start well and finish well." was originally a palace maid in the pulp washing bureau, and was later assigned to serve the prince in the south. Although the prince is crazy and will beat people at every turn, he knows that the prince is actually a very poor person. If you just leave like this and abandon the prince, then the prince will be left alone in Nannei, and the prince will definitely become even more crazy, and when the time comes, I feel terrible when I think about it. If you don't serve the prince now and serve the emperor, then you will definitely be uneasy. ”

When she said these words, she was very sincere, and there was a holy light on her face, which made Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be intoxicated for a while.

Zhu Jianshen praised again and again, and said: "Yes, you are really a good girl, but how can you make a decision on this kind of thing, what does it have to do with you if he is crazy now?" You said that the prince would beat people at every turn, did the prince beat you? ”

He stood there silent.

So, Zhu Jianshen glanced at Gu Leng and said, "Gu Gonggong." ”

Gu Leng nodded, stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves, suddenly revealing an arm as white as snow lotus.

Zhu Jianshen looked carefully, but saw that the arm was really scarred.

Some of the scars looked new, some of them old, and it was clear that they had been abused for a long time.

Zhu Jianshen only felt a feeling of pity and pity for the jade, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "This Jianchen is really too much, and he can do it to such a delicate little palace maid." Gu Gonggong, if you go to spread my will, you will say that this is the end of it, and you will follow me from now on, and you are not allowed to go back to Nannei. ”

Gu Leng was slightly stunned, he felt that the emperor was too hasty to make this move, but since ancient times, heroes love beauties, let alone the emperor of the Ninth Five.

If the woman he fancied didn't get his hands on, he wouldn't stop.

Gu Lengyi sighed, he knew that it was impossible for him to persuade the emperor in this situation.

So he had to nod and say to Zhu Jianshen: "Obey." ”

So he went down and preached the message.

After Gu Lengyi left, Zhu Jianshen walked to the side, held her hand and said, "That's it, from now on you will serve by my side, I will definitely not let you be wronged in the slightest, I like you." ”

But like a frightened rabbit, he pushed Zhu Jianshen away.

Her behavior made Zhu Jianshen both a little angry and very happy.

Because Zhu Jianshen rarely sees a woman who dares to be disrespectful to herself, especially a girl like such a delicate girl, who looks very beautiful and delicate.

Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and be wanton and gentle, but he was afraid of being frightened, so he didn't do it.

Zhu Jianshen comforted him and let him go.

After waiting for it to go down, Gu Lengyi also returned.

Gu Leng wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen saw through it at a glance and said: "Father-in-law Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it, why bother talking there." ”

Zhu Jianshen's words made Gu Lengyi feel embarrassed for a while.

Because he knew that if he said something that Zhu Jianshen didn't like to hear at this time, then Zhu Jianshen would definitely not let him go easily.

So he nodded and said, "The old slave doesn't have anything to say to the emperor, but he just wants to ask the emperor how he thinks he has found out the information about the prince from his mouth?" ”

Zhu Jianshen thought about it for a long time, and he said: "I can't be sure about it now, but this Zhu Jianchen actually abused the palace maid at every turn, which is really chilling." You go and pass the decree for me right now, and say that I now specially ordered Zhu Jianchen to be named King Jing, hoping that he will do it himself. ”

"What, the emperor wants to give the title to the prince instead, wouldn't this increase the power of the prince?"

"Power, what power does he have? He is alone in this deep palace, and he never goes out, he doesn't even have a soldier by his side, what power can he have. I just want to tell him that he is a descendant of Emperor Jingtai, and Emperor Jingtai has become King Jing, he will always be a courtier, and he will never think of trespassing. I just wanted to warn him, didn't you even see that? ”

Gu Lengyi hurriedly stretched out his thumb and praised Zhu Jianshen and said, "The emperor is really wise, the old slave will do it immediately." ”

After saying that, he hurried away.

After he left, he was busy repairing the holy decree, and then ordered someone to send the holy decree to Nannei to crown Zhu Jianchen as King Jing.

After Zhu Jianchen was named King Jing, he didn't know what Zhu Jianshen's idea was.

Since Zhu Jianshen named him King Jing, he must have reminded him that he was the queen of the abolished emperor.

So although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still didn't show it on the surface.

He went mad and beat everyone in Nannei, and the newly sent palace maid was soon beaten and bruised by him.

The palace maid couldn't help it, so she went to ask Gu Lengyi, the chief supervisor of the internal prison, for help.

After Gu Lengyi heard about it, he told the emperor about this matter.

Zhu Jianshen was very curious about the situation of King Jing Zhu Jianchen's madness, so he said to the eunuch Gu Leng Yi: "In this case, we might as well go to the south in person to see what tricks this Zhu Jianchen is playing." ”

"Yes."

So, the two of them came to Nannei together.

When I arrived at Nannai, I saw that the courtyard was full of grass, and it looked like it was in the wilderness.

And Zhu Jianshen was lying in the grass basking in the sun at this moment to catch lice, and he didn't bow down when he saw the emperor.

Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be slightly angry, he pointed at Zhu Jianchen and said, "Brother Jianchen, do you remember who I am?" ”

Zhu Jianchen looked at him for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Who are you, so what, the so-called life does not bring death and does not take it, that is, no matter how big a person is, he will one day turn into a pot of loess, am I wrong?" ”

What he said seemed to be illogical, but in fact, he saw through the truth of life in one sentence, which couldn't help but touch Zhu Jianshen's heart again.

The reason why Zhu Jianshen asked why the name was called at the beginning, and replied that it was because "when is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past", which made Zhu Jianshen feel moved in his heart at that time.

That's because when is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past. Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

This poem is Li Yu's "Poppy Beauty" in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

What this poem says is the depression that Li Yu wrote after leaving home and going to China and being locked up in the Song State and the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Since Zhu Jianchen gave a name and called it, it was because of when this spring flower and autumn moon came, it means that he is in the same mood as Li Yu at this moment.

So this inevitably made Zhu Jianshen feel too much.

Zhu Jianshen saw that Zhu Jianchen didn't seem to be so crazy when he spoke, and couldn't help but say with some suspicion: "King Jing, I heard that you are crazy now, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhu Jianchen suddenly jumped up, pointed at Zhu Jianshen and scolded loudly: "You just went crazy, your whole family is crazy, where am I crazy, I am in good spirits." ”

After saying that, he lay down and sang there.

He sang, "Everyone says that life is good, but there is nothing good in life." If you die accidentally, you will only be a dirt bag after death. ”

The songs he sings may sound ordinary on the surface, but in fact they make people feel a vibration in their hearts.

Because the ballads he sings tell the truth, whether you are alive with gold, silver, or glory, but if you die accidentally, then what you get later is nothing more than a piece of loess.

Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhu Jianchen, and felt more and more surprised.

Who knew that Zhu Jianchen suddenly raised his head and said to him solemnly: "Hey, I said brother, are you hungry now?" Would you like to eat at my place? ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard him say this, his mind trembled suddenly, and he said, "Okay, since Emperor Chen's brother stayed here to eat, then I am not welcome." ”

Zhu Jianchen didn't seem to think of anything, pulled out a lot of grass from the ground and stuffed it into Zhu Jianshen's body, and said, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, this is my delicacies, these delicacies are delicious." ”

After saying that, he took some grass himself and chewed it in his mouth.

After Zhu Jianshen saw it, he couldn't help but throw the grass to the ground in disgust.

He stroked Gu Lengyi's sleeve and said, "Let's go." ”

Gu Lengyi agreed, and followed Zhu Jianshen away.

Along the way, Zhu Jianshen asked Gu Leng and said, "Father-in-law Gu, do you think King Jing is really crazy?" ”

Gu Leng thought for a long time, shook his head, and said: "Emperor Qiqi, the old slave really can't see whether King Jing is really crazy, but there is one thing that the old slave can see very clearly, that is, King Jing is not so confused at this moment, his confusion is all pretended." If a person is really confused, how can he see things so clearly. ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "Father-in-law Gu, what you said is true." ”

They happened to walk to Nannei's door and saw two little eunuchs guarding there.

So, Zhu Jianshen asked the little eunuch.

He said: "Does King Jing often say these ballads on weekdays? ”

When one of the two little eunuchs saw that it was the emperor, he quickly knelt down and said to him respectfully: "Your Majesty, King Jing is also so crazy on weekdays, and the reason why he became like this is because he went crazy when he read the Buddhist scriptures. ”

"What, reading the Buddhist scriptures went crazy?"

Zhu Jianshen heard a new statement and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Yes, Your Majesty. King Jing didn't like anything before, coarse tea and light rice, and he didn't pay attention to food and clothing, the only thing he liked was Buddhist scriptures. He read a lot of Buddhist scriptures in this south, and he turned them all over the scriptures, so his whole person became crazy, presumably poisoned by the Buddhist scriptures. ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard him say this, his heart was immediately relieved, and he said to Gu Gonggong: "Now, I finally understand why King Jing said those ballads, those ballads are still very reasonable, it turns out that he read the Buddhist scriptures." ”

Zhu Jianshen believed King Jing a little, but Gu Lengyi didn't think so.

Gu Leng said to him: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you can't do it, after all, the bluestone tablet in Erlong County is still there." What if King Jing was just let go, maybe the rumor of the stone tablet was really fulfilled? ”

Zhu Jianshen was also a little touched in his heart when he heard him say this, but he couldn't help but reprimand Gu Lengyi and said, "You also know that it is a rumor, and you have to talk so much there." Let's go, let's go back to the Qianqing Palace with me first. ”

So, Gu Lengyi followed Zhu Jianshen back to the Qianqing Palace.

Gu Leng Yi said a little strangely: "Your Majesty, do you really plan to let King Jing go?" ”

Zhu Jianshen's eyes showed a cold look, and he said: "Of course I won't let King Jing go so easily, the reason why I scolded you just now is because there are too many people, and those two little eunuchs are guarding the south for King Jing all the year round." If he hears our words, maybe he will pass them on to the eldest princess, and if the eldest princess knows, it will be difficult for us to carry out our plan. ”

"Your Majesty, what are you planning to do now?"

Zhu Jianshen laughed and said: "There are many people in history who escaped punishment by pretending to be crazy and stupid, but I don't want to be that Pang Juan was deceived by Sun Bin." ”

"What Pang Juan and Sun Bin?" Gu Lengyi asked a little strangely.

Zhu Jianshen said: "In the past, there were two generals, one was named Sun Bin and the other was Pang Juan, and the two of them were originally brothers. That Pang Juan became the prime minister of a country, and he was very jealous that Sun Bin was more capable than himself, so he wanted to arrest Sun Bin and kill him. In order to escape being killed by him, Sun Bin pretended to be crazy and stupid and hid in the pigsty to dance with the pigs, and even did not hesitate to eat pig feces, and in the end Pang Juan finally believed that he was a waste. So, I let him go. At that time, Sun Bin's legs had been cut off by Pang Juan, and it was such a waste person who actually killed Pang Juan in the end, which shows the depth of this person's scheming. Now I am afraid that Zhu Jianchen also has this kind of mind in his heart, so I will definitely not settle it with him so easily. But this matter is hindered by the princess and the ministers, and it can't be carried out so quickly. Father-in-law Gu, if you help me think about it and help me think of a way to come out, how can you test whether King Jing is really crazy? If he's really crazy, that's fine, after all, he's a brother of the same clan. If he had deceived me, I would never have let him go. ”

"Your Majesty, why do you think King Jing may really be crazy?" Gu Lengyi asked a little strangely.

Zhu Jianshen nodded and said: "Actually, this matter should also start from many years ago, this Zhu Jianchen has been trapped in Nannei for many years, but I heard that he has not moved. Eating and sleeping every day, he slept and ate, like a wasted man, and now why did he suddenly go crazy? I think about it, maybe it's because he reads too many Buddhist scriptures, and the whole person is trapped there and has no freedom, so he goes crazy, and it's not impossible. On the other hand, if he heard the rumors of Shuanglong County in advance and pretended to be crazy and stupid in an attempt to get by, this possibility is possible, so I must act cautiously. One is that I don't want to kill my brothers in vain, and the other is that I will never let someone who is a threat to me live in this world. Father-in-law, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Understood." Gu Lengyi hurriedly replied.

He said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is a way to find out if this King Jing is really pretending to be crazy and selling a stupid old slave. ”

"Oh, what can you do, though."
