Section 3: The Lonely Blessed King
Three days later, on the shore of Hongze Lake, there were many Ming officials of Nanjing Prefecture, including Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Nanjing household department, Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the Bo, Han Zanzhou, the eunuch Han Zanzhou, the governor of Fengyang, and Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, etc., the commanders of the four towns in Jiangbei.

"It's coming, it's coming!" I don't know who has sharp eyes, I saw the big dragon boat slowly gliding on the lake, and there were three personable sons and brothers standing at the bow of the boat, in addition to the Luwang Zhu Changshu's complexion was healthy and full, the Fuwang Zhu Yousong and the Chongwang Zhu Cijiao were greedy for excessive wine, and their faces were very ugly.
Waiting for the ship to dock, the celebrant eunuch Han Zanzhou sang: "The prince has arrived!" All the officials knelt down neatly and shouted: "Welcome to the prince!" King Lu, Zhu Changshu and others clasped their fists on the boat and replied: "Everyone! There is a lot of harassment, please Haihan. The officials hurriedly returned there, and Zhang Shenyan, the head of the household, touched his gray beard and asked strangely, "Where is King Zhou?" ”
King Lu Zhu Changshu said with an uncomfortable face: "King Zhou is old and has a heart failure, and he passed away last night. "Thinking back to the unsightly scene of the three princes and courtesans in the past two days, I am very disgusted in my heart, this week the king is very happy and sad, and he died of old age and heart failure on the woman.
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong's face was gloomy, and the young Chongwang Zhu Ciyi was afraid, last night I saw King Zhou's old uncle Jing Tiao lying on the courtesan and did not move, and his dead expression was very ecstatic, but seeing that King Fu was so indifferent and disrespectful to the elderly, I thought that it was better to follow King Lu to Hangzhou, don't hinder King Fu's eyes and save his life that day, so I didn't follow King Fu off the boat at that time.
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong was supported by Lu Jiude to the shore, and when the officials heard that King Zhou was dead, they immediately talked about it, and Zhang Shenyan, the head of the household department, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Woohoo! God is pitiful, King Zhou's return to heaven is my Ming loss! The prince's day mourns. Fu Wang Zhu Yousong said impatiently: "The national disaster is at the head, there is no need to be so hypocritical, King Zhou's funeral should not be done in a big way, everything is simple, find a feng shui treasure and bury it on the spot." ”
Zhang Shenyan, the head of the household department, and others were also stunned when they heard that Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, said that he was so disrespectful to the elderly, they were all old oilmen in the officialdom, and their faces returned to the same as before for a while, and Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and other officials hurriedly sent it to praise the righteousness of the king of Fu. The officials thought to themselves, come on, your family is just a relative, not our relative, you can do what you say.
Xungui's sincere uncle Liu Kongzhao's nose only snorted, but there was no way, this Ming Dynasty Xungui and the vassal king still had a hierarchy, and they had no right to accuse this disloyal and unfilial Fu King.
Zhang Shenyan, the head of the household, saw that the blessed king had come down, why didn't Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, and Zhu Ciyao, the king of Chong, get off the boat, and asked for an respectful invitation again, and Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, explained: "Don't bother everyone, this king and the king of Chong will go to Hangzhou Mansion together, and don't say goodbye." "Saying that the ship was ordered to go offshore, the officials were very happy, now it's okay, the pressure of raising four vassal kings is too great, go one less one, now raising a Nanjing Mansion is enough to respond to the house, and I also know the reason why King Lu and King Chong do not stay in Nanjing Mansion, to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that the emperor will blame him and become a commoner, and if he is guilty, he will cut off his head. all pretended to keep it again and again.
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong saw that the king of Pu behind him did not get off the boat, his heart was very happy, one less and his own people who enjoy the glory and wealth is a happy thing, seeing the strong and smiling expressions of the officials, he was very unhappy, so he pretended to excuse himself and said: "This king fled all the way to the ground, did not bring a palace dependent, was penniless, and the jade belt of the imperial gift was also lost, I don't know if there is a place for this king in this Nanjing Mansion, the world is in turmoil, so that this king is sad, and he is really embarrassed, so he should go to Zhejiang to take refuge." ”
When all the officials heard such a shameless excuse, their hearts were upset, and they hurriedly said in unison: "King Fu must not refuse, this Nanjing Mansion still needs King Fu to personally sit in the battle to be good, we must assist King Fu, there is no second heart!" ”
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong saw that all the Nanjing officials said this, and he was very proud, you still know that this world is my Zhu family! I no longer pretended, and after pretending that everyone would vomit, I accepted the invitation of the officials, watched the lanterns and watched Nanjing, visited the ancestral hall of the ancestors, and cried for a while.
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong went through all the procedures, accompanied by Nanjing officials to live in the arranged mansion, saw that the lobby for their own wind and dust banquet had already been prepared, happy, why no one women, unhappy, first beckoned the officials to take a seat, for a while the wine came and went, Fu Wang heard the official's sycophancy.
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong saw that it was almost over, so he put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed, Ma Shiying saw that Fu Wang was in such a state, so he also put down the wine glass and said, "His Royal Highness Fu Wang, how can you sigh?" "This king is very lonely!" King Fu said with a sad face, and Ma Shiying suddenly realized: "The prince doesn't have to worry, in a few days, the lower officials will definitely take the princess and mother to Nanjing." "This king is still lonely." Ma Shiying and the others wondered, what did it mean, they couldn't think of why, King Fu was unhappy when he saw it, why didn't there be a sensible person.
When King Fu and the officials were embarrassed, Han Zanzhou, the eunuch who was waiting for the wine, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The prince lacks a concubine?" When King Fu Zhu Yousong heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, so this king is very lonely!" Ma Shiying patted his head and got up to confess, how did he forget that the concubine of the blessed king hanged herself in Luoyang Mansion, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates are not thoughtful, please forgive the prince, and arrange for the lady to enter the palace tomorrow and the prince will select a satisfactory concubine?" ”
Fu Wang Zhu Yousong was not happy, and said with a hanging face: "Tomorrow's things will be talked about tomorrow, today's long night can be long!" Can't you arrange a few girls to drink with this king first? After hearing this, Ma Shiying and others hurriedly arranged for the eunuch to invite the most famous singer in Nanjing to come to the palace to entertain the prince.
Zhang Shenyan, the head of the household, and Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the uncle, could no longer stand this Fu Wang Zhu Yousong's naked lust request, and angrily threw his cup and left the banquet.
