Chapter 506 House arrest?
He was about to enter the imperial city, but Zhu Yunwen asked Li Jie about his future fate. Zhu Yunwen was also quite nervous about how Zhu Yunyu would deal with him. Although he felt that his younger brother would not kill him, sometimes letting him live may be more uncomfortable than death.
Li Jie didn't want to say anything more to Zhu Yunwen, but seeing his sincere words, his heart softened. Finally, he hesitated for a while and finally replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you are Your Majesty's brother after all. Although you made a big mistake, fortunately, you did not cause too serious consequences, so you may eventually be demoted to another place and your daily movements will be subject to some restrictions."
"I understand, he wants to put me under house arrest until death!" Zhu Yunwen once again showed an indignant look when he heard this. For him, it is probably not much better to put a house arrest in a lifetime than to die.
"The word "house arrest" is a bit serious. In fact, even if Your Highness does not commit any crime, he will only stay in the place as a vassal king in the future. He can't leave his fiefdom easily. At that time, King Zhou was imprisoned by Emperor Taizu for a year because he left the fiefdom without authorization. Therefore, your treatment in the future may be only a little tighter than that of ordinary vassal kings, and there is probably not much difference in the others." Li Jie explained.
"Other vassal kings just cannot leave their fiefdoms at will. I guess they will be stared at even when I leave the mansion. The difference is huge!" Zhu Yunwen said with a little disappointed expression at this time. He has begun to accept his fate. After all, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He has no capital to bargain at all.
Li Jie looked at Zhu Yunwen's lost appearance and sighed secretly. If it weren't for his intervention, maybe he would have been the one sitting on the throne now. However, whether it was Zhu Yunwen in history or Zhu Yunwen in the present, he would not have become an outstanding emperor. Instead, he would have caused chaos in the world because of Huang Zicheng and others.
For the sake of the people of the world, I can only feel wronged! Li Jie whispered in his heart, then looked at Zhu Yunwen, and said nothing more. Zhu Yunwen seemed to have lost interest in speaking, and the two of them entered the imperial city in silence.
Normally, after the carriage enters the imperial city, the people in the carriage have to get off and walk. However, today the situation is special, so the carriage keeps driving towards the inner palace. At this time, Zhu Yunwen also opened the car window and looked at the familiar scene in the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be demoted from the capital and will never return to this imperial city in his life.
After looking at the scenery in the imperial city for a while, Zhu Yunwen suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Jie again and asked: "I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, when did you find out that I came back after leaving the city?"
"Today, I sent Emperor Taizu's coffin out of the capital, which was a trap. I had already set up a large army outside the city, so His Highness could not escape and could only return to the capital in the end. When he was at the city gate, he seemed very relaxed when entering the city to investigate, but in fact he had set up countless spies in secret. As long as he met a suspicious person, these people would quietly follow him. His Highness's figure was discovered by these people." Li Jie replied again.
"So that's it. In order to capture me, you not only mobilized the army, but also laid so many people in the city. It seems that the loss is indeed not unfair." Zhu Yunwen sighed again after hearing this.
Just as the two were talking, the carriage finally entered the inner palace and finally stopped outside the warmer pavilion. Li Jie took the lead in getting off the carriage and then took Zhu Yunwen into the warmer pavilion.
I saw Zhu Yunyu sitting behind the desk, reviewing the memorials with all concentration. Compared to before he succeeded to the throne, Zhu Yunyu was much thinner and had a little more fatigue on his face. After all, he was too busy during this period. Not only did he have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Ming Dynasty, but he also had to handle the funerals of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao and his son. However, Li Jie was tied up by Zhu Yunwen's affairs, so he could only do it himself.
It was not until Li Jie and Zhu Yunwen walked into the warming pavilion that Zhu Yunwen raised his head. When he saw Zhu Yunwen, there was no look of anger on his face. Instead, he put down what was in his hand and stood up. Then he smiled and said, "Brother, you are finally back!"
"If possible, I really don't want to come back, but unfortunately I can't help it. Say, what are you going to deal with me?" Zhu Yunwen also asked directly. He had accepted his fate. No matter how Zhu Yunsheng dealt with him, he would not be surprised.
"Brother said this. We are brothers, how can I deal with you?" Zhu Yunxiu said with a smile again.
"I heard what you mean, are you not going to deal with me and let me go?" Zhu Yunwen felt that Zhu Yunxi's smile at this time was extremely hateful, so he deliberately choked him with words.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxiu was stunned when he heard Zhu Yunwen's words. The enthusiasm he had just pretended to disappear suddenly, but he quickly reacted and immediately smiled and said, "Brother is definitely very hard to wander around for a while. I have someone prepared a room for you, so you can rest for a few days. In addition, my sister-in-law is also very worried about you these days, so you and your wife can also reunite!"
Zhu Yunxiu said that, then waved his hand and asked someone to take Zhu Yunwen away. Now he had not thought about how to deal with Zhu Yunwen, so he could only temporarily put him under house arrest and be kept under strict supervision so that he would not run out again.
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to say anything to Zhu Yunhe anymore, so he followed the people out honestly, and only Li Jie and Zhu Yunhe were left in the entire warmer pavilion.
"Brother-in-law, please sit down quickly. Thank you for your hard work during this period!" Zhu Yunxiu immediately pointed to the seat next to him and said.
"Your Majesty, you are polite. These are all things I should do." After Li Jie thanked Zhu Yunsheng, he came to the seat and sat down.
"Brother-in-law, the person has been arrested now, but what should I do with him? If I really kill him, it may make outsiders feel that I am ruthless and ruthless, without tolerance, and there may even be more unfavorable rumors." Zhu Yunsheng frowned and asked Li Jie for advice.
"Killing is definitely not something that can't be killed. The best way now is to put a house arrest, but doing so can be risky. If some people with bad intentions take advantage of him in the future, they will use him to rescue him and do something unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty under his banner. Even if they can be destroyed by then, it may cause some chaos." Li Jie also frowned at the end of his speech.
"Yes, I also have this kind of worry. It was the safest to put him under house arrest in the capital, but he was the prince. According to the rules set by the emperor, he should have gone to the fiefdom and become a vassal. It's not a big deal for me to keep him under house arrest?" Zhu Yunxiu said helplessly again. He couldn't kill him, and there was risk in house arrest, which made him feel embarrassed.
