However, on the Yunnan side, Li Dingguo's army was defeated and retreated, most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they were unable to protect the Yongli regime, and the attitude of the Burmese side gradually changed. At this time, another palace coup d'état took place in Burma, and King Mangda, who was friendly to the Yongli regime, was executed by his younger brother Mangbai.

On May 23, the eighth year of Shenwu, the younger brother of the king of Burma, Mang Bai, with the support of his ministers, staged a palace coup d'état, executed Mangda, and established himself as king. The new king was very angry when he saw that many ministers had come to congratulate him, but Zhu Youlang had not arrived. In fact, Zhu Youlang didn't want to come, but because he was in an embarrassment in terms of finance, he couldn't get many decent gifts. But the reckless people think that they are not at all like the poor people, and think that they deceive themselves. The king's attitude towards Zhu Youlang and others also changed, and the Yongli regime was gone, so he had the idea of getting rid of them.

Under the pretext that Zhu Youlang did not give congratulatory gifts, Mangbai sent an envoy to ask for it, but he didn't get anything, so he ordered the envoy to reproach him in person: "I have worked hard for two years, and your emperor and ministers should thank me heavily." In May of the year before last, my king was going to kill you, but I still refused. You people have no idea how to repay the favor. After saying that, he went away indignantly. Yongli officials tried their best to defend themselves, but the other party was unmoved, and since then the relationship between the two sides has gradually deteriorated.

On the 16th day of the seventh month of the 10th year of Shenmu, the king of Burma, Mang Bai, decided to eliminate the officials accompanying Yongli. He sent someone to inform the Yongli courtiers to cross the Jinsha River to discuss matters. In view of the tense relations between the two sides, Yongli civil and military officials did not dare to go because they were suspicious and afraid. On the 18th, the Burmese messenger said: "My king, fearing that you have other intentions, wants you to go together to the river to 'drink the curse water' and swear an oath to heaven." This will also strengthen trade, otherwise we will cut off relations and your life will be even more difficult. ”

Zhu Youlang and the civil and military ministers didn't know what to do, and Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo in Yunnan, replied: "Your Xuanwei Division was originally a place that I sealed in China. Now that my monarch and minister have arrived, it is the heavenly kingdom. Your king should answer here, it is the gift of the lower state, how can you trap my monarch and ministers here? How can we do this now? You went to inform the king, and said that I, the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, was only made by the mandate of heaven, and now I have traveled to the land of no life, how can I be deceived by the people of Ertu? Although my monarch and ministers are poor, King Lianger does not dare to be rude. Ren Er's country has millions of soldiers, like thousands, and my monarch and ministers just die with the mandate of heaven. But after the death of my king, there will be people who come to settle accounts with the king. ”

Although the beautiful words are easy to say, at the insistence of the Burmese side, Zhu Youlang still had to send someone to go. But who will go to the appointment? Zhu Youlang finally decided to go by the university scholar Wen'anhou Ma Jixiang, the eunuch Li Guotai and others, but the two proposed to go with Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo. Mu is a figure valued by the states and Tusi on the southwest border, and Ma Jixiang and others believe that with Mu Tianbo present, there will be no accidents.

At dawn on the second day, Ma Jixiang and others summoned officials of all sizes to cross the river and go to the tower of the Burmese army garrison to prepare the oath of "drinking cursed water", leaving only thirteen internal officials and Deng Kai, a lame soldier, to guard the "palace". In the morning, when the civil and military officials arrived at the foot of the tower, they were surrounded by 3,000 Burmese soldiers. The Burmese commander ordered Mu Tianbo to be dragged out of the encirclement. Mu Tianbo knew that there were variables, so he seized the guard's knife and resisted, killing nine Burmese soldiers; The general soldiers Wei Bao, Wang Sheng, and Wang Qilong also grabbed firewood sticks and fought back, but they were all killed because they were outnumbered.

Other officials who were deceived into "drinking curse water" were all killed, including Ma Jixiang, Ma Xiongfei, Wang Weigong, Wang Zijin, Chen Qian, etc., the general soldier was reassigned to An Chaozhu, Ren Zixin, the head of the Jinyi Guard, Zhang Gongji, Ding Tiaoding, etc., the internal officials Li Guotai and Li Maofang, and the official Zhang Bozong of the Jiwang Mansion. Later statistics showed that a total of 42 people were killed in this "cursed water difficulty". After the Burmese army murdered the servants of the Yongli Dynasty, they immediately rushed into the residence of the Yongli monarch and ministers, killing more than 300 people and looting property and women.

Zhu Youlang saw that this was the case, and in a hurry decided to hang himself with the queen of the middle palace. Deng Kai, the chief soldier of the guard, advised: "The queen mother is old and has fallen into a foreign land. The emperor has lost Sheji is already disloyal, and now he is unfilial to leave the queen mother, why do you see Emperor Gao underground? Emperor Yongli gave up his plan to commit suicide.

In the end, the Burmese soldiers gathered 25 people, including the Yongli Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, in a hut, and insulted the rest of the personnel and the families of the subordinate officials. More than 100 nobles such as Liu and Yang of Emperor Yongli, King Ji and his concubines all hanged themselves. When the Burmese soldiers had exhausted the looting, the Burmese minister arrived under the guidance of the general affairs and pretended to order the Burmese soldiers: "The king has an order here, not to hurt the emperor and Mu Guogong." However, Mu Tianbo had already been killed while "drinking cursed water".

Zhu Youlang's temporary palace corpses were strewn all over the ground and could no longer be inhabited, so Burmese officials asked Zhu Youlang and others to move to another place to live temporarily. There are still more than 200 internal officials and women in Mu Tianbo's house, and they also gathered together, "the mother cries for her son, the wife cries for her husband, and the woman cries for her father, and the news is dozens of miles." After the looting, the survivors were no longer able to live, and monks from nearby Burmese temples brought food and drink to survive.

On the 21st, after the Burmese side cleaned up the original residence of Yongli Junchen, they asked them to move back here and brought them food and clothes. On the 25th, he sent covers, silver, cloth, and other things, saying: "The king of Burma really has no such intention, it is all because the Jin and Gong feudal clans killed the local people, and the Burmese people hate them to the bone, so they take revenge." ”

After this blow, Zhu Youlang was completely disappointed in his future, but he was unwilling to be sent to Zhu Hongsan, which was really worse than death. On October 18, Zhu Youlang said to the chief soldier Deng Kai: "The Queen Mother has fallen ill again, if the will of heaven is irreparable, Zhu Hongsan's traitor will come to kill me, let him kill him, and you don't care about the alliance." But I hope you can return the bones of the Queen Mother to their homeland. ”

At this time, the Burmese authorities did not immediately kill Zhu Youlang because Zhu Hongsan's army had already occupied Yunnan at that time, and at this time, Zhou Yu, the governor of Zhu Hongsan's rear army, was on the Ming-Burma border with 80,000 soldiers, and Zhou Yu wiped out all the more than 10,000 remnants of Li Dingguo's army half a year ago, and Li Dingguo also died in the army.

Originally, according to Zhou Yu's intentions, he killed the past directly, and the king of Burma and Zhu Youlang were all killed. But at this time, Zhou Yu was no longer the deputy battalion commander of the year, but one of the nine dukes of the New Dynasty. Some people around Zhou Yu said that Zhu Youlang's identity is very special, although the emperor has ordered life and death, but everyone knows that many people in the court are Zhu Youlang's former ministers back then, such as the current governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Lu Daqi. It was very simple to kill Zhu Youlang, but those scholars did not dare to offend the emperor, so Zhou Yuke, as the direct executor, was unlucky.

Zhou Yu is right to think about it, it is no longer a war year, and the power of the Chinese people in the DPRK is gradually overpowering the power of the military generals, just in case it is better to leave Zhu Youlang's life!

In this way, Zhou Yu wrote to the Burmese government and asked them to hand over Zhu Youlang. Mang Bai saw that the Qing army was unstoppable, and he also wanted to curry favor with the emerging Shenwu regime. Under the coercion and temptation of Zhou Yu, Mang Bai sent Zhu Youlang and his family to Zhou Yu in November of the tenth year of Shenwu.

After Zhou Yu accepted Zhu Youlang, under the advice of the strategists around him, he did not go to see Zhu Youlang in person, but offered Zhu Youlang with delicious food and drink, after all, Zhu Youlang's life and death from now on are not Zhou Yu's control, and everything has to be decided by the emperor in Beijing.

The Yongli regime, which posed the greatest threat to Zhu Hongsan, was eliminated, and Zhu Youlang was captured, but Zhou Yu did not dare to teach casually without the emperor's order, so he sent a thousand soldiers to escort Zhu Youlang back to Kunming, and Zhou Yu himself was stationed on the Ming-Burma border with the rest of the army.

Zhou Yu treated Zhu Youlang well, and did not treat him badly, and regularly offered food to Zhu Youlang and his wife, as well as the Queen Mother, the Prince and others every day. But Zhu Youlang still had some regrets in his heart, it was better to commit suicide at that time.

After half a month's journey, Zhu Youlang returned to Kunming, where he had been away for more than three years, the city was still the same city, and the people were still those people, but they were no longer his Zhu Youlang's subjects.

Lu Daqi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, had already received news from Zhou Yu, and he was ready to stop and wait outside the city gate this morning. Lu Daqi's staff all advised Lu Daqi not to do this, although Lu Daqi had been Zhu Youlang's courtier, but now he eats Zhu Hongsan's meal after all. And Zhu Hongsan, the emperor, is obviously cautious, what if he really feels that your old relationship between Lu Daqi and Zhu Youlang is not over?

But Lu Daqi didn't care about the dissuasion of his subordinates, although he is now Zhu Hongsan's courtier, but after all, he was Zhu Youlang's cabinet elder, and he can't be so shameless.

When Lu Daqi saw King Gui's car arrive, he hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and knelt down to salute and said, "Old minister Lu Daqi, meet Your Majesty!" "If Zhu Hongsan must be angry here, Zhu Hongsan, in order to buy people's hearts, stipulates that the scholars don't have to kneel when they see the emperor, and now Lu Daqi is receiving Zhu Hongsan's salary, and he actually bows down to the former master, which is really a bit excessive.

At this time, Zhu Youlang had already taken off a dragon robe and replaced it with an ordinary cloth robe, and at this time, he saw that the old man also left tears. Zhu Youlang stepped forward to help Lu Daqi and said: "Mr. Lu, now you are a courtier of His Majesty Shenwu, you don't need to salute my prince, let Your Majesty know that it's not good!" "In order to survive, Zhu Youlang has written to Zhu Hongsan to abdicate on his own, or to be his own King Gui.

Lu Daqi stood up with Zhu Youlang's support, and said with tears in his eyes: "As long as the minister has been His Majesty's courtier for a day, he will always be His Majesty's courtier!" ”

Zhu Youlang saw that Lu Daqi was so loyal, and sighed at his fate, he couldn't help but hug Lu Daqi and cry.

After the two cried, Lu Daqi welcomed Zhu Youlang into Kunming City, and still lived in Zhu Youlang's former palace, but Lu Daqi was always treacherous and cunning, and knew that Zhu Hongsan, the faint king, could do anything. Lu Daqi was very afraid that Zhu Youlang, the Jinyi guard in Kunming City, would assassinate him, so he personally took his guards to guard the door of Zhu Youlang, for fear that something would happen to Zhu Youlang.
