Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 873 Out of the City
Hearing that Zhu Jianshen said that he would not give the money, the little girl didn't dare to move anymore, and stood timidly not far away, holding the money tightly in her hand, sniffing, and said.

"The little one listens to the young master."

"Young master, don't worry, when I take the money to bury my mother, I will go to the young master's mansion and work for the young master. I will not let the young master lose money!"

Seeing the little girl in front of him clenching her fists and swearing, Zhu Jianshen couldn't laugh or cry, thought about it, and said like a little adult.

"You take the money and bury your mother well, and then, like the emperor uncle said, go and join relatives by yourself."

"I said, this money is for you, not for you, and you will never sell yourself again!"

After saying these words, for some reason, Zhu Jianshen felt very happy in his heart, clapped his little hands, turned around and planned to leave.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he found that his sleeve was grabbed by someone.

Turning her head to look, she saw that she was still the little girl. She had stopped crying, but she still looked a bit pitiful with her cat-like face.

I saw her tightly clutching Zhu Jianshen's sleeve, biting her lower lip and said.

"No, my mother said, you can't take other people's money for nothing. You give the little money, little boy, and the little one will work for you!"

Ah this...

Zhu Jianshen blinked, not knowing how to speak.

No matter how young he is, he also knows that people are not allowed to take people around in the palace at will, but seeing the little girl's attitude of not letting go, he has no choice but to say for a while.

"I, I already have a lot of people in my family to take care of me. I don't need you to work. You, you go to your relatives, don't sell yourself!"

"No, I have to work!"

However, what Zhu Jianshen didn't expect was that the little girl in front of him was very stubborn, holding the copper coin firmly with one hand, and holding Zhu Jianshen's sleeve tightly with the other hand, neither of which would let go look, firmly said.

"Young master, don't worry, I eat very little, and I won't waste your family's food. Besides, although I am small, I can't do much work now, but I will grow up. When I grow up, I can do a lot of work. It's okay. I'll be your bed warmer girl!"

"Anyway, it will definitely be useful if you take me back!"

I don't know where the little girl heard the words of the girl who warmed the bed. At this moment, she said it out of her mouth. Dare to say.

But poor Zhu Jianshen, a dignified prince, has been educated by the court since childhood, and everyone who sees him is respectful, and he has never seen such a scene.

The bed warming girl or something made the little prince's face turn red, and he stood there pitifully, not knowing what to say, so he had to look at Zhu Qiyu again as if asking for help.

"Uncle Emperor..."

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu's expression was a bit strange, he glanced at Wan Zhen'er next to him, smiled, and said to the little girl.

"This usual money is nothing to Brother Shen. Since he said to give it to you, you just keep it."

"With this money, I buried my mother, and then went to relatives. At least someone can take care of me, but if you insist on going back with Brother Shen, you can only be sent under the fence and become a slave. Are you really willing?"

At this moment, the little girl didn't hesitate much, nodded her head crisply, and said.

"If you go back to the master, I am willing!"

So, Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jianshen who was at a loss, and continued.

"Forget it, since you live with your mother, you don't have any close relatives in your family. If Brother Shen is willing, it doesn't matter if you take her back."

"What's your last name?"

With Zhu Qiyu's consent, the little girl let go of Zhu Jianshen's sleeve, and said timidly.

"The younger one's surname is Liu."

"Um……"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Well, from now on, you will be my maidservant. Brother Shen took his jade pendant and exchanged it with me for the usual money, and bought you back. Then you will be called Yu'er from now on. "

Logically speaking, apart from being fined and confiscated into the lowly status of Jiaofangsi, Daming did not have any slaves, at most he only had a limited period of servants.

However, a provision is a provision, and reality is reality.

Among many aristocratic families and even ordinary officials, there are many slaves who sign a lifelong bond of sale, and there are even so-called family-born children, who are born as slaves.

The so-called slaves are the property of the master's family. Everything is subject to the orders of the master's family. Naturally, they have to make a clean break with the past. Therefore, changing names and surnames is common.

This little girl was poor since she was a child, and she has seen such things before, so she didn't find it strange. She just thought it was a sign that Zhu Qiyu accepted her as the master, so she kowtowed and said.

"Little Liu Yu'er, thank you master for giving me your name."

However, what she didn't know was that the place she was going to was not at all the rich gentry's house she knew.

For ordinary people, it is natural to change their names when buying servants, but most of the servants in the palace use their real names, even if they are different from the names before entering the palace, they are mostly taken by themselves.

It is a great grace to be named.

I didn't see a group of servants following me, my envious eyes almost dropped.

Seeing Zhu Jianshen who was obviously happy, Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face, but continued unhurriedly.

"Brother Shen, your place is usually restrained and there are many rules. Yu'er is young, so I'm afraid she has to learn the rules carefully, or she might be kicked out at some point."

"It just so happens that your younger sister Hui has a playmate, how about letting her accompany your younger sister Hui?"

As soon as these words came out, the two children in front of them were a little listless.

However, Liu Yu'er knew her identity, and although she was disappointed, she didn't dare to speak, but looked at Zhu Jianshen with some reluctance.

Of course she understands that today's incident, if the young master in front of her hadn't shown kindness, she would have never been able to sell herself anyway.

Being lonely and helpless at such a young age, and her dependent mother suddenly left, the little girl was naturally terrified. Although she looked strong on the surface, how strong could a child at this age be.

From the beginning to the end, she tried every means to 'sell' herself. Apart from wanting to bury her mother, in fact, subconsciously, even she herself may not realize that she is treating the little boy in front of her as her own. rely on.

Now that I heard that I couldn't be with Zhu Jianshen, I was naturally very disappointed.

As for Zhu Jianshen, he didn't have such complicated emotions, and helping the little girl in front of him was just doing it casually.

However, after all, he is only a four or five-year-old child. Although he has a noble status, countless people have taken care of him since he was born. Wan Zhener, Liang Fang and others have taken good care of him on weekdays, but how lonely is he? very.

Especially when the Empress Dowager Sun decided to enlighten him, the time was very tight every day, the pressure of schoolwork was very high, and there was almost no time to go out and play.

Whenever he saw Sister Hui and Brother Ji playing in the garden, he was actually very envious and wished that he could be accompanied by someone of the same age.

It's a pity that this wish is destined to be impossible to come true...

Zhu Jianshen glanced at the little girl next to him, and a trace of mature helplessness flashed across his immature face. From a very early age, there were countless people by his side, telling him all the etiquette rules that he should abide by as a prince. Everything makes sense.

Therefore, he knew very well that in a place like the Eastern Palace, it was impossible for such a four or five-year-old Xiaogong to appear.

Among other things, if grandma knew about it, she would definitely reprimand him for having fun and losing his mind.

Unlike him, sister Hui is the most favored in the harem. Although she loves to play and make trouble, she treats the palace people very well.

Therefore, this little girl will have a better life when she goes to sister Hui's side than when she is with him.

Nodding seriously, Zhu Jianshen said.

"Listen to Uncle Emperor..."

However, even though he said so, the loneliness in his eyes could be seen at a glance.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Shu Liang, find a few people to bury the mother of this child properly, and then ask someone to make some clothes for her, wash them, and take them back to Liuhuan, and ask her to arrange a place next to the place where Sister Hui lives. residence."

"Yes!"

Because it involves matters outside the palace, it is natural that Shu Liang, the admiral of the East Factory, is suitable to do it. However, I am afraid that neither this little girl nor her dead mother would have thought that an incident at home Funerals can be handled by such a big shot.

So, Shu Liang quickly found two people, wrapped up the woman on the ground with the same mat that he didn't know where to find, and then Shu Liang stepped forward, took the little girl's hand, and brought her to the bed. Arranged down.

Standing beside Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen watched the unkempt little girl leave with reluctance, a trace of maturity and loneliness that was not commensurate with his age appeared on the chubby little face.

But only for a moment, Zhu Jianshen felt a big warm hand on his head, and then Zhu Qiyu's voice fell.

"In a few days, Uncle Huang plans to set up a small school next to Qianqing Palace to teach your younger sister Hui and younger brother Jianji how to read, and also let your younger brothers and sisters from Nangong come over together. At that time, when you come to say hello every day, You can meet them on the way, and if the master agrees, you can also have breakfast together."

"really?"

Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked up at Zhu Qiyu with anticipation in his eyes.

Zhu Qiyu smiled, his voice still gentle.

"You have no jokes!"

Zhu Jianshen was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground, he couldn't even care about the daily etiquette, and shouted loudly.

"Thank you, Uncle Huang!"

Looking at this look, Yu Qian and Shen Yi were both helpless and sad. In short, their expressions were extremely complicated.

Several people boarded the carriage again and continued on their way.

However, what Yu Qian and others did not expect was that the carriage did not continue to patrol the city, but left the capital all the way to Fuchengmen.

At this moment, Yu Qian suddenly felt a little uneasy and couldn't help saying.

"Your Majesty and His Highness need to understand the sentiments of the people. You can just stay in the city. Now that the earth dragon has just turned over, there may be bandits and thieves outside the city waiting for an opportunity to make trouble. If you encounter them, you will hurt Your Majesty and Your Highness. I will die."

At any rate, in the capital city, there are still government soldiers and servants from the Shuntian Mansion everywhere. If any accident happens, someone will come here at any time.

However, once out of the city, the degree of danger will be greatly increased.

Although this is only a possibility, if the possibility arises, it will be a heavy blow to Daming today.

Seeing this situation, Shen Yi at the side gave Yu Qian a dissatisfied look, now you are willing to speak, why didn't you see your help just now.

snort!
Shen Shangshu complained silently, but he still echoed Yu Qian, saying.

"Your Majesty, what Yu Shaobao said is true. The situation outside is chaotic now. If Your Majesty really wants to go out of the city to take a look, at least you have to wait for a while for the city to settle down. Otherwise, it is really difficult for the ministers to accompany His Majesty out of the city. I beg Your Majesty to think twice. "

Seeing the earnestness of the two of them, Zhu Qiyu was still in the mood to joke, said.

"Well, someone followed suit, and Mr. Shen has a lot of confidence in his words..."

His Majesty!

Talk about business!

Shen Yi's face turned red, and he was choked up suddenly and couldn't speak.

How can this not look like an emperor at all? !

Even Yu Qian, who was on the side, couldn't help being a little speechless. It seems that since he left the palace, the emperor has been a little different from his usual serious and gentle appearance, and he has become a little more easy-going and natural when getting along.

But the problem is, the Son of Heaven is easy-going, but how dare these courtiers disobey etiquette?
Therefore, facing such words, Yu Qian could only smile wryly.

Zhu Qiyu, on the other hand, looked at Shen Yi's embarrassment, and a smile appeared on his face. The old boy came to his palace to fight the autumn wind every now and then, and from time to time, he even had to 'tactfully' remind him, so he couldn't embarrass him properly. Awkward.

However, jokes are jokes, Zhu Qiyu also understands that Yu Qian and the two are serious, and it is indeed risky to go out of the city at this time.

However, what they don't know is that Zhu Qiyu, who has made mistakes in this matter, knows far better than them the truth that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

Holding back his smile, Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jianshen at the side, and spoke seriously.

"Prince, you left the palace with me today, and your words and deeds are very decent. It seems that the gentlemen of the East Palace have taught you very well."

"So today, I want to teach you another truth. That is, there are many things in this world, such as etiquette and rules. You may not like them and feel that they restrict you, but you still have to follow them."

"Because these rules are often bought by previous generations with the experience of blood and tears. Under any circumstances, don't gamble on the hope of the eventuality, but make complete preparations."

"So, before you understand the role of many etiquette regulations, even if you don't like it, you must abide by it. You must not be willful, remember?"

Zhu Jianshen was a little ignorant, obviously unable to understand the deep meaning, but he carefully wrote down every sentence Zhu Qiyu said just now.

"remember……"

"Ok!"

Only then did Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction, and turned to look at Yu Qian and the two of them. Seeing their pensive faces, he knew that they understood.

Before you can figure it out, you naturally have to abide by it, but what if...you figure it out?

The carriage stopped outside the city gate, and there was a hissing sound, and the curtain of the carriage was rolled up immediately.

"Chen Jinyiwei Commander Lu Zhong, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Yu Qian and others looked around, only to see Lu Zhong, who was wearing a flying fish robe, kneeling on the ground outside the city gate.

Following his prostration, behind him, a team of Jinyiwei Military Academy, at least 2000 people, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, bowed down neatly and shouted in unison.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
