Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 881 Conflict
In Kunning Palace.

As Wang Shi said, there are small eunuchs in this palace, but there are not many little palace maids. Even if there are, they are criminals who have been convicted and confiscated.

However, Sister Hui has an active personality. Although there are many people who accompany her on weekdays, they are all a group of palace maids and servants. They are similar in age, and there is only one brother Ji.

Although it is said that the sister and brother have a good relationship, but after playing for a long time, it is a bit boring.

So, with such a new playmate, the little girl who was already crazy was just as happy as something.

On the other hand, Liu Yuer, who has always been timid, seemed very uneasy in front of Zhu Qiyu.

But this is also normal. Although she lives in the capital, the biggest official she sees on a daily basis is probably the yamen of Shuntian Prefecture. She originally thought that at most a wealthy family would buy her, but who would have followed the butler's chin After the smiling man buried his mother, he was led straight to the palace.

Being ignorant, she was arranged to go to this magnificent palace, bathed and changed clothes, and put on good clothes that she would never dare to touch, and met a bunch of people that she would not dare to think about on weekdays. , The little girl is afraid that until now, she is still stunned.

At this extreme, I am afraid that only Sister Hui, who is similar to her age and very friendly, can make her feel a sense of security.

Sending the two children aside to play, Mrs Wang and Zhu Qiyu sat down on the soft couch, looking at Liu Yuer who was still a little cramped in the distance, Mrs Wang asked.

"Your Majesty, what is the arrangement of this child, you have to give your concubine an accurate word..."

Although it was said that when Shu Liang brought people over, she said that she should serve Sister Hui, but after Wang shi asked about the situation, she did not dare to take it lightly.

Based on what she knew about her husband, he would never shove people into the palace casually, and he would still go to Sister Hui's side.

If it was an ordinary child, she would have looked at the arrangement, but after inquiring about the situation, she learned that this was the one who was 'bought' by the prince, so naturally she couldn't arrange it at will, and she had to be a little cautious.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, but didn't say much, just said simply.

"Let her be a playmate with Sister Hui. You don't have to think about the rest."

"Although this child is not good-looking and comes from a farm family, he is very smart, and has a pure and kind-hearted nature. He is good at teaching. When Sister Hui gets married, there will be a considerate and loyal girl around to serve."

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu had some other ideas when he brought this little girl into the palace, but after cleaning up, I have to say that this little girl is still quite different from Wan Zhener.

That being the case, it is also a good place to let her stay by Sister Hui's side at ease.

You must know that ordinary wealthy families of officials and gentry will also raise a few girls to serve the young lady, so that when the young lady gets married, she will have a real confidant.

However, in the usual times, there is no such habit in the palace. After all, the princess is precious and precious. Even if she is married, there are many maids in the dowry. Even if she is not raised since childhood, she wants to be loyal and useful, smart and clever. But not difficult.

However, each has its own advantages, so Mr. Wang nodded and said.

"Then the concubine will know, since that's the case, when she is rushing Ming'er Hui'er to study, she will also go with her. It happens that Sister Hui's temperament escapes, and she can live in peace with someone by her side."

"Ok!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded lightly, but did not see Wang continue to speak. He looked up and found that Wang's face showed a rare hint of hesitation, as if he had something to say.

"what happened?"

Wang Shi bit his lower lip, and after a while, Fang Dao.

"Your Majesty, because of the earthquake last night, many concubines in the palace were frightened, so the mother concubine called an imperial doctor and asked the concubines of each palace to take the Ping An pulse..."

"Chen, concubine, happy!"

This is a happy thing, but Wang Shi's face is not half happy, instead there is a sadness.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu frowned, clenched her hand, and asked.

"What's wrong? Is the condition of the fetus not good?"

"It's still your body that can't stand it. I remember that the mother-in-law said before that your body is weak. It's only been more than half a year since Sister Yun was born, isn't it..."

Hearing this, Mr. Wang was stunned, his brows relaxed, he shook his head, and said.

"No, there is nothing wrong with the concubine's body. The former concubine sent a lot of medicines for recuperation, and the imperial doctor also said that the body of the concubine has already recovered."

"As for the child, the imperial doctor said that it has only been more than a month, and I can't see anything. I only instruct the concubine to be careful on weekdays, and there is nothing serious."

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu was relieved and smiled.

"If that's the case, it's a good thing. Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant, and you are also pregnant with a child, the royal bloodline, the more sons, the more happiness. Now there are only two princes in the palace, Ji Ge'er and Shu Ge'er, and there are still fewer. , If you can all give birth to princes, then I will have four princes just like the Emperor Taishang."

The children together have always been Zhu Qiyu's heart disease. Although he didn't want to put too much pressure on the Wang family, so he rarely showed it on the surface, but his happiness when Brother Shu was born could never be faked.

In the past, he was still thinking of his daughter who was born with insufficiency in the previous life. Now, although Sister Yun is young, she is also healthy, so he naturally fulfilled his wish, looking forward to having a few more princes.

At least, don't be compared by a certain Supreme Emperor. You must know that although the concubines of the Supreme Emperor did not make any movement after talking about Nangong, but before the Northern Expedition, he already had four sons and four daughters. It is not an exaggeration to say that the house is full of children. .

However, upon hearing this, Mrs Wang's expression, which had just been relaxed, became complicated again. He gently touched his lower abdomen, Mrs Wang hesitated again and again, but still said.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is a little worried!"

"worry about what?"

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback and asked.

Wang Shi lowered his head and said softly.

"The concubine knows that Your Majesty has always wanted a son-in-law, and the concubine also wants it."

"However, now that the East Palace has just been established, and the court situation has gradually stabilized, if this child is really a prince, the ministers and concubines are worried that it will cause a disturbance in the outer court."

Although Zhu Qiyu already had two princes, after all, the weight of the direct descendants from the queen was decidedly different.

Biting her lip, Wang continued.

"My concubine knows that it's useless to imagine these things, but today, all day long, my concubine can't help but think wildly, so..."

So, Zhu Qiyu also understood.

Come to think of it, it was today that he brought Zhu Jianshen out of the palace to the harem, which made Wang Shi worry that if the news of her pregnancy spread, it would destroy the good relationship he finally built up, and the good relationship between him and the East Palace, causing changes in the court situation. .

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu said.

"You don't have to worry about these things, just have a baby, I will handle the affairs of the foreign court, you trust me!"

In the past, with Wang's character, there would be no more words at this point.

But this time, she hesitated for a while, but said anyway.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask your Majesty something!"

Zhu Qiyu held her hand, but his tone was still gentle: "What's the matter?"

Wang shi looked up at her husband, and asked with a bit of anxiety.

"My concubine thinks, if this child is born and is a prince, His Majesty will make him King Yu, okay?"

The smile on Zhu Qiyu's face froze. Rarely, he fell silent and did not agree immediately.

After a while, his tone was a little cold and he asked.

"If this child is named King Yu, then... what is I?"

Ordinary people may not understand the meaning of Wang's move, but how can Zhu Qiyu not understand?

It stands to reason that since he is a prince, as long as he is born, he will be named a prince. This is a matter of course.

However, the title of King Yu is different. This is the title of Zhu Qiyu before he ascended the throne.

According to convention, since he has ascended the throne, then the state of Yu should be removed, and this is indeed the case. After he ascended the throne, even the palace of Prince Yu was given to the old King Min, and it was changed to the palace of King Min.

And now Wang's request, on the surface, is just asking for a title, but in fact, the problem is far more complicated.

Zhu Qiyu was King Yu before he ascended the throne. As his eldest son, if he is also named King Yu, it means that this child inherits the lineage of King Yu.

In fact, this is a problem that is always difficult to avoid in the current situation of the royal family.

From the point of view of the patriarchal system, as Zhu Qiyu's eldest son, he should inherit his throne. At the same time, he should inherit his status as a large clan and become the head of the Zhu family's clan. He will worship Zhu Qiyu a hundred years later.

However, his throne belongs to an abnormal inheritance. After his death, the current prince Zhu Jianshen will succeed him.

Although Zhu Jianshen is the crown prince, he is the son of the Emperor Taishang, that is to say, although he inherits the throne of Zhu Qiyu, he must be the Zongqi of Zhu Qizhen's lineage.

This is actually the real dead end, but even so, this is a problem that needs to be really faced after a long time.

However, the request made by Wang's now is really a bit...

If it is said that this child is another new title, then that's all. Since it is a re-opening of a country, then it will be said in the past that it will inherit Zongyu and worship the former emperor Zhu Qiyu.

But if his title is King Yun, he will inherit the kingdom of Yun.

Then, after he inherited Zongyu, should he be the father of the late emperor, or should he be the father of King Yu?
If it is the latter, then, what is the emperor Zhu Qiyu?
Stealing country?
As soon as this idea came up, a burst of anger surged in Zhu Qiyu's heart, and for a while, he seemed to have returned to his previous life.

Wang Shi is also in front of him like this, persuading him not to change the East Palace.

In the first life, Zhu Qiyu's concentration and vision are naturally much stronger than in the previous life, so he can understand why Wang Shi made this request.

Intellectually, this is the best way to resolve the doubts of the government and the opposition.

As Zhu Qiyu's eldest son, he was named King Yu. In fact, he was telling the court and the public that after a hundred years, he and Zhu Qizhen would inherit their own ancestry and set their own standards. The hidden meaning was actually to further clarify the direct relationship between Donggong and Zhu Qiyu. The status of the eldest son.

In this way, the birth of this child will not only not shake the status of the East Palace, but will instead further stabilize the status of the Prince of the East Palace.

The country is stable, and the community is naturally stable.

This is the reason!
However, this is from a rational point of view, and from an emotional point of view...

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Qiyu suppressed the turbulent emotions, stood up from the couch, and said.

"I remembered that there are still some government affairs to deal with. Since the queen is pregnant, let's rest early!"

He needs to be calm and a little scared.

The scene in front of him is too similar to the previous life.

He was afraid that he would continue to stay here. He and the Wang family would quarrel, estrange, and drift apart like in the previous life, and eventually reach an ending that neither of them wanted to see.

Abandoning these words, Zhu Qiyu did not dare to look back, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

However, before taking two steps, he felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and turned his head to see that Wang Shi timidly followed behind him, Su Bai's hand was carefully holding the corner of his clothes, and his big eyes were tight. He stared at him with fear and grievance in his eyes.

"His Majesty……"

Seeing this situation, the anger in Zhu Qiyu's heart dissipated for some reason, and with a sigh, his tone turned to gentle again.

"This matter is no trivial matter, I need to think about it carefully, you have a good miscarriage, and leave the rest to me."

After that, he reached out and brushed Wang Shi's hands away and walked out.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the palace gate, there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him, followed by an exclamation from the palace servants.

"Miss!"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Qiyu immediately stopped and turned around, just in time to see Mrs Wang running towards this side, perhaps because she was too anxious, she stepped on the skirt and was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu didn't have time to think about it, and strode back, he supported Wang Shi's arms and helped him up well. Seeing that Wang Shi was all right, Zhu Qiyu was relieved, and then he couldn't help but feel a little bit. angry, said.

"What are you doing? With your body on, what if you fall? Nonsense!"

It should be said that since Zhu Qiyu woke up, he has never spoken to Wang in such a stern tone.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he felt a little regretful.

He and Wang's two lifetime husband and wife naturally know her temperament best. Although Wang was gentle and docile during this time, in her bones, she is actually the most arrogant and self-respecting.

In the previous life, it was for this reason that neither of them would bow their heads, so they finally broke up again and again.

However, when he was thinking about how to recover, he heard a low and timid voice from the opposite side.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is wrong, please don't go, okay..."

This was the first time Zhu Qiyu heard that Wang Shi's tone was filled with such fear and helplessness.

Seeing Wang Shi's nervous and careful look on the other side, Zhu Qiyu's heart suddenly trembled, and all his anger just now vanished.

So, he stretched out his hand and embraced the person in front of him who was as frightened as a small beast. He didn't speak, but silently stroked her back.

The low sobbing sounded, gradually became louder, and finally turned into a wanton cry.

Wang Shi leaned against Zhu Qiyu's arms, and big drops of tears rolled down, wetting the fronts of the two of them, but neither of them meant to let go.

The bright moon shines through the window into the temple, and the night finally returns to tranquility...
