After listening to the translation, the Burmese envoy sneered and said: "What rules do the Han people have, in the eyes of our Burmese people, even if you Han people drink the curse water, you may not be able to form a bond with others!" ”

"You!"

Mu Tianbo was angry, if it weren't for the emperor's sake, he really wanted to step forward and beat this Burmese envoy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Burmese envoy had a tough attitude, Zhu Youlang clasped his hands, and somehow he was good, standing there very anxious. At this time, the Burmese envoy and the interpreter bowed their heads and said a few words, and the interpreter then told the Yongli monarch and ministers that the Burmese king asked the civil and military officials of the Yongli court to eat curse water, but the emperor could not go, but the three of Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, Ma Jixiang, the first assistant and the eunuch Li Guotai, had to go, so that the Burmese side could rest assured that the Ming Dynasty really had the sincerity to form an alliance with Burma.

Zhu Youlang was helpless, and he could only agree under the fence.

At dawn the next day, Ma Jixiang and other officials gathered to cross the river and prepare to drink the curse water and swear an oath, leaving only thirteen internal officials and the lame soldier Deng Kai to guard the "palace". When some uninformed officials saw that it was the king of Burma who invited them to eat, they thought that they must be in the royal palace, and they were very happy to see what the royal palace of Burma looked like. Soon, however, the officials realized that something was wrong, as the Burmese envoy did not lead them in the direction of the palace, but under a wooden pagoda.

Ma Jixiang's son-in-law Yang Zai whispered to his father-in-law that the situation was not right, Ma Jixiang swept around, and found that there were Burmese soldiers with weapons all around, and couldn't help but panic, and asked the Burmese envoy who led the way: "Your envoy, why didn't you go to the palace?" ”

The Burmese envoy smiled and said, "Why do you want to go to the palace?" ”

"Didn't you say that the king should eat the curse water?"

"It's true that the king invites him to eat the curse water, but the ceremony of eating the curse water is held on the sacrificial platform outside the palace, and my Burma has never invited anyone to the palace to eat the curse water."

The Burmese envoy explained, Ma Jixiang felt a little at ease, but Yang Zai frowned, not believing what the Burmese said, and intuitively felt that something big would happen.

After arriving at the foot of the wooden tower, the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty saw that the soldiers under the tower were heavily guarded, and Li Guotai immediately had a sense of foreboding, and said in a lost voice: "Why don't you invite us to eat curse water, but like inviting us to the execution ground?" ”

Li Guotai's words were like thunder, and everyone was blown to their senses, and some people wanted to turn back, but immediately Burmese soldiers came up with spears to drive them away.

Mu Tianbo also knew that the big thing was not good, so he rushed out and asked, "Where is your king!" ”

"Who said you should see the king? The king is so honorable, how can you wait to see him casually? The Burmese envoy spoke, but quickly stepped back.

Mu Tianbo said angrily: "Dog thief, you didn't bring us to see your king and eat some curse water, but you want to harm us!" ”

The Burmese envoy sneered and said nothing, and the Burmese soldiers around him had already surrounded him under the leadership of the officer, and their fierce faces were revealed.

"Why did you kill us?" Ma Jixiang's legs were weak and his face was pale.

The Burmese envoy snorted: "Are Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan the generals of your dynasty?" ”

Ma Jixiang: "It's the vassal king of my dynasty." ”

"Then I'm going to kill you!"

"Why is that?"

"Because the two thieves Li and Bai have been harassing us in our country, many of our people have been killed by them, and today I will kill you to avenge my people!"

Hearing the Burmese envoy say this, some officials immediately scolded Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, saying that he had not succeeded enough and had more than enough failures, and not only could not protect the emperor, but also harmed them.

When the Burmese envoys and generals saw that the Ming officials were noisy and yelling, and almost forgot the fact that they were going to be executed, they thought they were very funny, and they had come to this point, how could they still have the heart to blame others?

"Drag Mu Tianbo out!"

The Burmese envoy ordered to move, and asked someone to drag Mu Tianbo out of the encirclement. Mu Tianbo seized the knife of a Burmese soldier and resisted and killed 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. All the other officials who had been tricked into eating the cursed water were killed by the Burmese soldiers, but three survived. One is Ma Jixiang, the other is his son-in-law Yang Zai, and the other is the imperial prince Weigong.

After many officials were killed, they still opened their mouths and eyes, as if they wanted to argue with the Burmese envoy why they wanted to kill them! Or maybe they don't believe it.

A Han man who lived on the other side of the river secretly crossed the river to report the news to Zhu Youlang, but Zhu Youlang did not believe that this matter would be true at all. He shook his head vigorously at the messenger, saying that my prince and minister went to eat cursed water and form an alliance with Burma, how could he be killed? But when the Burmese army then crossed the river to kill, Zhu Youlang didn't believe it.

Zhu Youlang fainted in fright.

After the Burmese army murdered the Ming Chamber's servants, they immediately rushed into the residence of the Yongli monarch and looted the property of the woman. More than 100 people, including Zhu Youlang's Liu and Yang nobles, 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 secretary and ordered 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 "eating cursed water".

When Zhu Youlang woke up, his court residence was in a mess, and the corpses were all over the ground, shocking. He was in great pain, so he stood on the table, put a white cloth on the beam, and made another bump. Then he hung his neck in a white cloth ring and kicked the table away. Zhu Youlang's body hung in the air at once. At this time, Deng Kai and others, the chief guard of the guard, rushed into the house, and when they saw the emperor hanging himself, they hurriedly put him down.

"The Queen Mother is old and drifting into a foreign land. The emperor has lost his society and is disloyal, and now he abandons the queen mother and is not filial, why do you see Emperor Gao underground? ”

Under Deng Kai's hard persuasion, Zhu Youlang gave up his plan to commit suicide. Later, the Burmese soldiers gathered him, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Crown Prince in a hut and insulted the rest of the staff and the families of the officials.

Three or five days later, Burmese officials moved Zhu Youlang and the rest of the people to another place for temporary stay. There are still more than 200 internal officials and women in Mu Tianbo's house, and they are 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.

Because of the complete sacking of the Burmese soldiers, the survivors of the Ming Dynasty could no longer live, and the monks of the nearby Burmese temple brought them food and drink, so that they could survive. After the Burmese side cleaned up the original residence of Yongli monarchs and ministers, they asked them to move back to their residences and give them grain, rice and utensils. On the 25th, he sent covers, silver, cloth and other things, and it was rumored: "The king of Burma really has no such intention, and he killed the place with the Jin and Gong domains, and the Burmese people hated it to the marrow, so they took revenge." ”

The frightened Zhu Youlang heard this, but he couldn't give birth to any hatred, but felt that the catastrophe had passed, and the new king of Burma had accepted him again. No, only two days later, a group of Burmese soldiers surrounded them again, and then ordered everyone to get on the boats on the river. Zhu Youlang and the queen mother, the queen, the prince and others lived in one boat, and the rest lived in other boats.

Deng Kai, the chief of the guards, asked the Burmese where they wanted to take them, but the Burmese side did not tell them, and only ordered the soldiers to strictly guard Zhu Youlang and his party so that no one would jump into the river. Zhu Youlang, the Queen Mother, the Empress and others were driven into the cabin, surrounded by black cloth, so that they did not know where they were outside and where they were going.

The desperate Zhu Youlang said to the prince: "On that day, my father was mistaken by a traitorous minister, and he did not make Zhou Shixiang and Bai Wenxuan the prince, and Ma Bao was crowned the prince of the county, so that the heroes were discouraged, what will be the regret?" ”

After seven days of darkness in the cabin, Burmese officials suddenly invited Zhu Youlang out of the cabin, and then told him that he was ordered by the king of Burma to return the Ming Emperor to the Ming army, and on the river beach in front was Li Dingguo, the king of the Ming and Jin dynasties.

Zhu Youlang was stunned for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised, only to say that God opened his eyes and allowed him to see King Jin again. However, when the boat stopped, Zhu Youlang did see a large group of soldiers lined up on the river beach, but it was not the Ming army, but the Qing army.

Zhu Youlang was discouraged, he knew that he had been sold by the Burmese. He wanted to jump into the river and die, but the Burmese soldiers on the left and right looked at him to death.

That's it, that's it, I'll die calmly!

Zhu Youlang closed his eyes and got off the boat under the push of the Burmese soldiers, and the sound of hurried footsteps and armor came from the river beach.

Zhu Youlang knew that waiting for him in the next moment must be the rope of the Qing soldiers, he was very sad, struggled to turn his head, and opened his eyes to see the queen and the prince who were brought out by the Burmese soldiers on the boat, but at this time there was a thunderous voice in his ears: "Your Majesty, the minister Wu Sangui has come to take over!" ”
