"No, Your Majesty." Seeing his mother and concubine knelt down and begging Zhu Yunye, Zhu Yunwen immediately stood up and said righteously: "It's none of my mother's and concubine's business. It's my wish to seize the vassal."
"Don't talk nonsense. It was my idea to create the vassal state." When Lu heard this, she immediately reprimanded Zhu Yunwen, and then begged the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is really my idea. If you want to kill or behead him, let the emperor do whatever you want."
Zhu Yunwen took a step forward and stood in front of Lu, "It has nothing to do with mother and concubine. If the emperor wants to deal with it, he can deal with the ministers."
Zhu Yunye just sat on the chair leisurely, watching the mother and son arguing endlessly. He neither made any statement nor stopped him. He just watched like a bystander.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the palace became very strange.
Mrs. Lu secretly glanced at Zhu Yunye, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but stop talking.
At this time, Zhu Yunye raised his eyes to look at the two of them and said with a smile: "I have never said who I will punish. What do you mean by rushing to get the punishment?"
No...no intention of asking for guilt...
Zhu Yunwen and Lu looked at each other, so what they did just now was similar to that of clowns on the stage?
The situation was extremely awkward, and neither of them knew what to say.
Zhu Yunye calmly saw their expressions in his eyes and had already anticipated their reactions. Zhu Yunye took a high look at Zhu Yunwen for taking the initiative to take the blame on him instead of letting Lu take the blame, but that was all.
As for why Zhu Yunwen didn't choose to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to get through?
Ever since King Yan pretended to be crazy in Peiping, but later raised an army to rebel. The road of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid was blocked by him. As long as the people behind him start pretending to be crazy, others will naturally think of it.
It's okay if you don't pretend to be crazy or act stupid, but pretending to be crazy or acting stupid will directly increase the other party's vigilance, which is not worth the loss.
Of course smart people like Zhu Yunwen and Lu would not have thought of this.
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yunye's mouth, and he thought to himself: But with such a deep affection between mother and son, do you think I will believe you?
Zhu Xiongying was only six or seven years old at the time, but Lu didn't show mercy at all when he attacked him, let alone any hesitation. Zhu Yunye didn't believe that a person who could kill even a child would be a kind person.
After glancing at Mrs. Lu, Zhu Yunye's eyes turned to Zhu Yunwen's face. Looking at this brother who was several years older than himself, Zhu Yunye smiled silently.
Not to mention that like mother, like son, but in Zhu Yunye's eyes, this brother was not a peaceful person to begin with.
When Crown Princess Chang passed away and the position of Crown Princess was vacant, Lu naturally coveted her.
Lu is just the daughter of Lu Ben, the minister of Taichang Temple. Although her background is not bad, her father is a civil servant after all. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, when the four parties were still uncertain, the status of civil servants was not as high as that of nobles.
It can be seen from the concubines that Lao Zhu appointed for each of his sons. All the concubines were from noble backgrounds, and none of them were from civil servants.
But after the death of Crown Princess Chang, among Zhu Biao's concubines, the one with the best background was Lu.
If Han Jingyun had not appeared, Lu would have been the crown princess.
Han Jingyun's light was too dazzling, and he was born in a Marquis Palace and was nobler than the Lu family. Moreover, she is also the first person in arithmetic in the world and a famous teacher in the Ming Dynasty.
When Lu and Han Jingyun compare, they are like the light of fireflies under the bright moon.
Zhu Yunye glanced at Zhu Yunwen who was a little confused, and asked with a smile: "Do you really want to go to the feudal lord?"
Zhu Yunwen glanced at his mother and concubine subconsciously, and both of them understood that the moment related to their fate...
coming!
Zhu Yunwen secretly took a deep breath, slowly raised his head to look at Zhu Yunye and nodded: "Yes, I want to go and become a feudal lord. I sincerely ask for the emperor's permission."
After saying that, he knelt down to Zhu Yunye.
Ms. Lu also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on our mother and son."
Looking at the two people lying on the ground
, the smile on Zhu Yunye's face disappeared instantly, and he looked directly at them with cold eyes.
The mother and son, who were clinging to the ground, were also quietly communicating with their eyes. Whether they risked life or death depended on this moment. The longer they didn't wait for Zhu Yunye's response, the more their hearts sank, and soon there were dense beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Just when the two of them were about to despair, they heard Zhu Yunye's voice like a spring breeze.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them were overjoyed and quickly calmed down their excitement and stood up.
But Zhu Yunye's next words let the mother and son know that they were happy too early. Zhu Yunye did not agree to them directly, but curiously asked Zhu Yunwen: "Why do you want to go to Fan? Isn't it good to live in the palace? ? Or is there someone in this palace who treats you badly?"
At this point, his face turned grim and he shouted: "If anyone dares to bully you, tell me directly, I will never spare them lightly!"
"No...no one bullied us. We live well here..." Zhu Yunwen didn't want to cause trouble at all at this time.
Besides, even if he told Zhu Yunye that someone was bullying them, would it be useful? Based on his understanding of Zhu Yunye, despite Zhu Yunye's awe-inspiring words, in fact, he probably really wouldn't care if their mother and son were bullied.
In this case, with Zhu Yunwen's intelligence, he certainly understands what is most important to him now.
Just Fan!
You must get the approval of the feudal lord!
After becoming a vassal, he said, "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!"
But as soon as Zhu Yunwen said these words, Mrs. Lu's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
On the contrary, Zhu Yunye laughed out loud.
Hearing this laughter, Zhu Yunwen suddenly woke up, his heart was full of regret, and he even wanted to slap himself immediately. What he just said seemed easy to fool, but at the same time it also showed that he was eager to deal with Fan.
He is too impatient and will cause problems if he is impatient.
Of course Zhu Yunye would not let go of his flaw. He walked up to him and patted his shoulder with a smile, and said calmly: "Since you live well in the palace, why do you have to go and join the feudal clan?".
When Zhu Yunwen was tapped on the shoulder, his body couldn't help but tremble. His hands hidden in his sleeves kept trembling, and he forced himself to look into Zhu Yunye's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I... I am old, but I have never seen anything outside the capital in my life. I beg your Majesty to give me a chance." In a hurry, Zhu Yunwen had to think of an excuse that was not an excuse. .
Under such circumstances, although Mrs. Lu was angry that Zhu Yunwen spoke without thinking, she had no time to scold him. He quickly helped him and said, "Please, Your Majesty, be merciful. Since Your Majesty is rich in the world, please give us a small place for our orphans and widows to grow old."
