"It's a bunch of fools who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement."

"Where will they distinguish between the truth and falsehood of what the monk said, as long as there is gossip to see, these foolish people don't care about the truth or falsehood at all."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry at the words of this group of fools."

"After all, they don't represent all the people of my Ming Dynasty."

Ma Shiying comforted Zhu Yousong.

He couldn't let Zhu Yousong be angry with that group of mobs.

Otherwise, if Zhu Yousong was angry, it would be too bad for him.

Especially in the timing of this contingency.

For Ma Shiying, who has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, he can see at a glance that this monk called Great Compassion is a liar.

But instead of acting rashly, he asked the emperor what to do.

Because he is keenly aware that this matter may not be so simple.

Let's not talk about whether this monk named Dabei is a royal prince, even if he is a real royal prince.

His remarks were enough to make his head fall to the ground.

Spread rumors in public that the emperor was not orthodox, regardless of the dynasty.

It's a great crime to kill your head!

Even if the people are ignorant and stupid, they absolutely know that they can't doubt the emperor.

However, this liar called Great Compassion dared to run to Nanjing to tell the matter in public at the risk of killing his head.

If he said that there was no one behind him, he would never believe it!

So he decided to let Zhu Yousong deal with this matter, anyway, the prince came to recognize his relatives, which was originally the emperor's duty.

This is not a shirk of his position.

"I know what Shousuke means."

"It's just that I think that since I ascended the throne, I have been slacking off every day, and I don't dare to slack off on political affairs."

"In order to revitalize the Ming Dynasty."

"I didn't expect that now I was actually said by a group of fools, and I felt quite uncomfortable......"

Zhu Yousong said with a sad face.

I didn't see that the corners of Ma Shiying's mouth were twitching slightly at this moment.

Zhu Yousong's words are as touching as they are, and this should be seen by people who don't know.

I'm afraid I really think that Zhu Yousong is a good emperor who is diligent in political affairs and worries about the country and the people!

But when you say this, can you not often run to the harem.

And I stay for half a day, and I often forget to return.

Even now he can smell the strong smell of perfume on Zhu Yousong's body.

secretly complained in his heart for a while.

Ma Shiying continued to flatter Zhu Yousong.

"Your Majesty is worthy of being the king of my Ming Dynasty, and even these foolish people are so merciful."

"This is the blessing of Daming!"

"Ahem, Ma Shoufu is also worthy of being a famous minister of my Ming Dynasty, and having a courtier like you is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yousong put his hand to his mouth to hide his weakness, and blew at Ma Shiying.

Suddenly, the two monarchs and ministers present began to praise each other.

It took a while.

The two of them stopped.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to deal with this great sorrow?"

At this time, Ma Shiying, who had been blowing to each other for a while, asked about the handling of Great Compassion.

"Well...... since this person said that he was my Prince of Daming, then I will treat him according to the treatment of the prince."

Zhu Yousong pondered for a while and said.

"Let Bao Guogong interrogate him."

"Let Baoguo Gong find out whether this person is my "prince" of the Ming Dynasty! ”

In the last two words, Zhu Yousong deliberately bit the words heavier.

This appearance made Ma Shiying also understand the emperor's request.

I already have the answer in my heart, but I still have to pretend.

After comprehending Zhu Yousong's meaning, Ma Shiying received the order and retreated.

……

Vertical day.

When Ma Shiying took the results of Baoguogong's overnight interrogation to the palace.

Because the genius was just dawning at this time, the merchants and people also came a little less.

Therefore, it seems quieter.

And this also made Ma Shiying, who was sitting in the carriage, hear some bad remarks.

"Hey~, have you heard? The prince who came to the emperor the day before yesterday was interrogated overnight! ”

"Huh?? Are you talking about the monk prince who was at the Shuiximen?? ”

"That's right! That's him. ”

"That's not right, isn't he a vassal king? Why are you interrogating him? ”

"Who knows, but I heard from the neighbor of my neighbor's second brother-in-law's cousin that the court suspects that this vassal king is a fake!"

“！！！！”

"Really??? Is it so exciting??! ”

"This person dares to pretend to be a member of the royal family, isn't he afraid of being beheaded!"

"How do I know this, maybe people are really bold enough to come and prepare to deceive the emperor!"

As early as when he heard the words Prince Monk, Ma Shiying quietly asked the coachman to stop on the side of the road.

He was going to listen to what the people would say, so that he could pick up some good words and bring them back to His Majesty.

In this way, His Majesty will definitely be able to trust him more!

"Could it be true that you say this vassal king? It's just because of what he said a few days ago that the court didn't dare to recognize him as a real vassal king? ”

At this time, another "common people" joined the discussion.

"Say? What words? ”

"Wow! Don't you all know this?? ”

"I don't know ......" xN

Hearing this, Ma Shiying couldn't hold back anymore and opened the curtains.

Look at the voice from the conversation just now.

I saw two vendors selling small items gathering together to discuss "quietly".

But a common man dressed in cloth suddenly joined in.

They pretended to be sneaky.

As everyone knows, it has long attracted a large number of people to stop around them.

They all pretended to be looking at the goods, but their ears were cocked high.

Here, I saw that the two of them looked unaware.

The cloth-clothed man immediately said to them with a smug expression.

"You don't know this, and I don't blame you, after all, this news is only known to people dressed in birds and beasts."

"Could it be that Your Excellency is too?"

When the two vendors heard this, they were immediately shocked.

"How could I be, it's news from one of my distant cousins."

The man in the cloth pretended to be majestic for a while, and then continued.

"My distant cousin said that it was because the "monk prince" said that Emperor Chongzhen was not dead! ”

"And not only did he not die, but he had already expected today's situation, and now he is staying in the south!"

"What ?!!!"

“！！！！！”

As soon as these words came out, the people who had been eavesdropping on the side suddenly exclaimed.

"Wouldn't it? Didn't the emperor hang himself in Nanjing a long time ago? ? ”

"How could you have made it to the south?"

"Yes, I heard that Emperor Chongzhen was not beheaded by King Chuang and made into a wine glass?"

"What I heard is that the former emperor was cut up by the thieves, and five people snatched the severed limbs of the former emperor and were sealed?"

“……”

All of a sudden, the surrounding people were talking.

They all began to talk about what they had heard.

"Everyone! You're all wrong! ”

"Not only is Emperor Chongzhen not dead, but he is in Yingtianfu at this time!!"
