Chapter 840: Burma Riots, Reckless White Usurpation of the Throne
Chen Zilong was stunned when he heard this: "Oh? Is there such a thing? Wechen really doesn't know. β
Li Xiao sighed softly: "Gu Yi only heard the secret letter from the Security Department this morning and learned that the new Wang Mangbai is the younger brother of the former Wang Mangda, this person has been planning for a long time, raising troops into the palace and persecuting the king's family, which is really tragic and inhumane." β
Then, Li Xiao, with a dignified face, handed the secret letter from the Security Division to Chen Zilong to read.
Chen Zilong took the letter and read it carefully, and finally knew the general process of Mangbai's rebellion and usurpation.
Just a few days ago, after careful planning, Mangbai finally launched a coup d'Γ©tat on a seemingly ordinary dark night.
He took the chief official to change the tooth as the internal response, paralyzed the guards in the palace, and reverted to the Marquis of Myawaddy Neimu Shanjue as the vanguard, commanding the elite soldiers and horses, and under the guidance of the guards in the palace who defected to the palace, he quietly entered the palace of the king of Burma from Shanyamen.
Because the palace guards were lax and Mang Bai and the others had been planning for a long time, the soldiers and horses led by Nei Mu Shan Jue sneaked all the way into the palace, and no one reported to the Burmese king Mangda. It wasn't until the army had entered the front of the sleeping palace Meinan Palace that the Burmese king heard the war drums and noise outside, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Mangda hurriedly ordered the eunuchs Uldaman and Ego to quickly go out of the palace to check, only to know that it was the king's own brother Mang Bai who rebelled and came to force the palace.
Uldaman and the others hurriedly went back and said to the Burmese king Mangda: "Your Majesty, it's not good! It was the prince who rebelled and led his troops to attack the palace, and the palace guards couldn't stop it at all! β
After listening to the report of the two, the Burmese king Mangbai's face was pale and he was at a loss for a while, and the queen sat on the dragon bed, holding the eight-year-old prince Mingye Denkedu in her right hand and the four-year-old prince Xiao Naradaiba in her left hand, and began to cry incessantly, but there was nothing to think about.
Soon, Mang Bai led his subordinates into the palace violently, more than 20 ministers in the palace, as well as many eunuchs and palace maids, were all killed, inside and outside the palace, the corpses were wretched, and blood flowed everywhere.
When Mang Bai entered the palace, the palace was already full of his men, and at this time, the Burmese king Mangda was not allowed to come out of the palace with the queen, and the two sat on the dragon bed, both silent.
At this time, Mang Bai saw that the king and queen were in the palace, and none of them escaped, knowing that the overall situation had been decided, his heart was overjoyed. But on the surface, this person looked very embarrassed, and said to Mangda: "The subordinate brother didn't want to harm the royal brother, but the officers and soldiers under him asked many times, and it would be difficult to do things if they didn't follow their words, just like the Buddha couldn't disobey the monks, so the subordinate brother had no choice but to lead the people to the palace, which can be regarded as fulfilling their requirements." β
Hearing this man's false words, Queen Adulla Sandadavi wept and said, "No need to say any more, let you be the king." We only hope that you will allow us to take the vows under you, so that your nephew and your grandson can become monks together. β
Mang Bai shook his head and said, "How can this make any royal family in my Donghu Dynasty have ever been a monk?" Even if I make you a monk, what will happen if you are taken advantage of in the future? Therefore, most of you still have to return to the vulgar, and this method is absolutely not feasible. β
After being rejected by Mang Bai, the Burmese king Mangda on the side sighed and said in a low voice: "Mang Bai, now that I am waiting for fish and meat on the board, you can do what you want." I only hope that if you can still remember the love of brotherhood, you will let us go, so that we can live a quiet life in ordinary people, and I can't thank you for my brother. β
At this time, Mangbai still had feelings for his father and brother in his heart, and when he heard Mangda's humble request, he felt ashamed. He also considered that it would be disreputable to immediately massacre his brother's family as soon as he seized power, so he played again: "Brother Huang, I haven't thought about this issue specifically, but if there is no accident, I will not harm my brother's family, but you can rest assured." β
Therefore, Mang Bai ordered that the royal brother, the royal sister-in-law, the prince, and the royal grandsons be placed in the queen's palace, which was regarded as a peaceful house arrest, and that he also sent people to serve the princes every day, and brought meals for the king to enjoy.
However, after Mangbai's move, such as Uchiyama Fallacy and Tooth Changeling Jane and others found out, they were very dissatisfied, and the soldiers under him were also very restless.
So, Uchiyama Yujue took a group of generals and urgently asked to see Mangbai, and shouted at him: "Your Majesty, I will hold my head and make trouble with you, and take the throne, which is completely cut off." But you are now so weak to the former emperor's family and unwilling to deal with it decisively, which is really a great disappointment to us. If it goes on like this, it is like there are two days in the sky, and the country has two kings, but there will be big trouble. At that time, if the emperor takes the opportunity to restore, or if the soldiers below are in rebellion, we will not dare to guarantee the emperor's safety. β
The words of Uchiyama and others, coupled with the instigation of a group of traitorous ministers, made the original hesitant and reckless make up their minds to kill the imperial brother's family. He then ordered that all four members of Brother Wang's family be drowned in the Qindun River.
Pity what a noble king's family, and finally become drowned ghosts in the river.
Sadly, the queen Adullah Sanda Devi was dragged to the river by the soldiers tearing her hair, and almost all the way wailing and shouting: "! I fed the big people with my mouth, and now I have come to harm us! β
The queen's miserable wail made all the onlookers cry sadly, but no one dared to say a word.
There are only new people laughing, and who can hear the old people crying.
Because this king was killed by his brother Mangbai in the river, the Burmese took pity on him and called him "Ye Cha Min" (meaning the king who was thrown into the water). Subsequently, in order to commemorate him, the Serijeong Bamboo Forest Retreat, where he lived when he was a teenager, was built into a five-story temple, so he was also called the five-story temple benefactor.
After reading this information, Chen Zilong also sighed again and again at the cruel and bloody coup d'Γ©tat in Myanmar today.
However, he pondered for a moment, and then asked Li Xiao: "Such turmoil in Myanmar, but I don't know what impact it will have on Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui who lives in Burma, and others?" β
Li Xiao was silent when he heard his question.
Because Li Xiao, who came from later generations, knew that in real history, not long after Mangbai usurped the throne, there was an extremely terrible curse water disaster.
In the previous life, on the 18th day of the seventh month of the 18th year of Shunzhi (August 12, 1661), the king of Burma, Mang Bai, sent a message to Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who fled to Myanmar, asking him to cross the river tomorrow and swear an oath to drink cursed water together to form friendship.
Zhu Youlang and some ministers all saw that there was fraud, but they didn't dare not go under the fence, so they had to order some civil and military officials such as university scholar Ma Jixiang and minister Mu Tianbo to go to the appointment. On the morning of the next day, Ma Jixiang and others came to the tower of the Burmese army garrison and were surrounded by 3,000 Burmese regiments.
Seeing that something had changed, Mu Tianbo immediately grabbed a knife to resist, and finally because he was outnumbered, all 42 officials were killed. Immediately, the Burmese army rushed to Zhu Youlang's residence, pursued and killed a large number of Ming servants, and then rushed into the residence of Yongli Junchen to loot property and women. He gathered 25 people, including Zhu Youlang, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, in a small hut, and insulted the rest of the personnel and the families of the subordinate officials.
It was not until the Burmese soldiers had exhausted the looting that the Burmese minister changed his teeth and went to Zhu Youlang's residence under the guidance of the general and ordered the Burmese soldiers: "The king has an order here, and you must not hurt the emperor and Mu Guogong." This terrible cursed water catastrophe is finally over.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh again, and said lightly: "Wozi, according to Gu, Zhu Youlang is afraid that he will be poisoned by Mangbai soon." This person is not wise for a while, and he has to flee from Myanmar, and what will happen in the future is all self-inflicted. β
