Within the red palace walls is the Fu Wang's Mansion.

The thieves retreated, and King Fu resumed the days of drunken debauchery and drunken dreams.

The sun sets in the west, and the slanting sun shines on the towering yellow glazed tiles, which more and more set off the two worlds that are completely different from Luoyang City across the wall.

In the palace courtyard, there was a faint sound of sheng xiao pipa, as well as the tapping of the sandalwood board, and the woman's voice was singing.

In the dormitory of Fu'an Palace, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, was lying in a carved gold lacquer circle chair covered with a white bear skin brocade mattress, stretching his legs, and his feet wearing yellow satin boots were on the carved sandalwood low table.

He knelt on his left and right, and two palace maids were hammering his thighs for him. The other two maidens sat on low stools on either side, one of them putting one of his arms on his lap and hammering it gently.

Everyone knows that King Fu is fat, but it is extremely rare to be fat to King Fu.

His arm was worse than the palace maid's thigh, pressing on the palace maid's leg, and after a long time, the palace maid was a little unbearable. However, King Fu's belly is bigger, with a round belly and a high bulge, like a big iron pot buttoned in his clothes.

The whole person shrunk in the chair, like a big round ball under the yellow python robe.

Not far from his feet, a young kabuki was playing the lute, while another knelt to the accompaniment of Dong Xiao.

The beauty played the piano**, but King Fu was lying in the chair snoring, and the snoring sounded loudly, completely destroying the beautiful piano Xiao and the music.

At the end of the song, King Fu immediately stopped snoring, he raised his eyelids, and was still lying in the chair.

Lazily asked.

"Is the bear's paw stewed good?"

A eunuch standing behind him took a few steps forward, bowed down and replied, "Lord Wang, the slave maid went to the kitchen just now, there are no bear's paws for dinner today, and tonight's main dish is roasted hump and fried deer liver, in addition to bird's nest and shark's fin." ”

"Why aren't there bear's paws?" King Fu's eyelids opened, revealing a fierce light.

"Back to the prince. The thieves have besieged the city for a long time, and now although the siege has been withdrawn, the surrounding area is still occupied by thieves, and the supply of bear's paws is really rare. Yesterday's stewed bear's paws are already the last pair. ”

Zhu Changxun snorted coldly, "Every day hump deer liver, bird's nest shark fin, I'm tired of eating it early, can't I get some fresh food?" ”

The eunuchs should be again and again.

Seeing that King Fu was about to close his eyes and sleep again, Si Le's palace maid hurriedly came over and knelt down, "Lord Wang." Do you want the slaves and maids to step down? ”

"Keep playing, let's make a quiet song, and I'll sleep a little longer."

"Then the slaves and maids play a song of the autumn moon of the Han Palace, and the pipa and the zheng ensemble, okay?"

When King Fu, who had already closed his eyes, heard this, he opened his eyes suddenly, raised his foot and gasped towards the weak music girl, and a kick hit her heart, and the music girl fell over. Lying on the ground, he had already passed out.

", it's not good to play anything, you have to play the autumn moon of the Han Palace. , why don't you rap the song of the wind? ”

The crowd in the hall was so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word. I can only look at the unlucky music girl with my eyes. She lay there quietly, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

"Are you like this, wishing you left the palace as soon as possible?" Zhu Changxun shouted.

"Slaves don't dare." A group of people hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The thieves had just withdrawn, but Zhu Changxun's mood was far worse than when he was besieging the city. Thieves besiege the city. As long as he makes some money, everyone is still willing to stick to Luoyang. But now, Liu Jiye has usurped Zhu Mingxia. Now they are all big men.

As soon as Liu Jiye ascended the throne, he said it well, and he should give preferential treatment to the clan of the previous dynasty. But on the one hand, he is aggressive. Today it is the privilege of the dismissal of the clans, tomorrow it will make the clans of the previous dynasty pay the taxes owed in the past five years, and the day after tomorrow they will confiscate their royal shops. Now they have to take stock of their land deeds, and say that all the land that was sacrificed must be restored to their original owners and returned to their original owners.

Today he has just received an order from the imperial court to dismiss the officials in the palace. Remove all the officials of the Fuwang Mansion, including the Chief History Division, the Guard Command Division, the Honor Guard Division, etc., all of them must be left behind.

In the future, there were no more eunuchs serving him, and there were no more guards guarding the palace, and even ordered them to move out of the palace, saying that the palace was illegal and could no longer live.

As you can imagine, this is certainly not the end, and there will definitely be more difficulties in the future.

Maybe one day, the usurper will no longer pretend, and with one will, he will kill all the descendants of their Zhu family, or exile them to overseas Taiwan or those islands in Hainan.

King Fu is the third son of Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong, and his mother is the most favored concubine Zheng Guifei of Wanli. At the beginning, Wanli also wanted to make him the crown prince, which eventually led to the dispute between the country and the ministers, and finally because of the resolute opposition of the queen mother and ministers, Zhu Changxun was named the king of blessing, and Zhu Changluo was named the prince.

Speaking of which, King Fu is the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen and the uncle of Emperor Longwu. In the past, Liu Jiye was the son of Chongzhen, and he also entered the Zhu family tree, and King Fu was also Liu Jiye's imperial uncle and ancestor.

But now, Liu Jiye has usurped Zhu Ming's country, and he wants to kill him, the emperor's uncle.

Zhu Changxun was once Wanli's favorite prince, and once wanted to make him the crown prince. In the end, it dragged on for fifteen years, and when Zhu Changxun was sixteen years old, he was named King Fu.

failed to become the crown prince, Wanli and Zheng Guifei felt very indebted to this son, so they made up for it.

Wanli moved King Yi, who was originally a vassal of Luoyang, to Yongning, and then sealed Zhu Changxun to Luoyang, and overhauled the palace for him, and Luoyang Mansion was 380,000, ten times the regular system. The palace was built for more than ten years, until Zhu Changxun was twenty-eight years old, and he made his country Luoyang, Henan Province, Henan Province.

And gave him 20,000 acres of land at a time, and gave him exclusive privileges such as salt tea.

Zhu Changxun was in Luoyang for 28 years, relying on power, annexing land everywhere, occupying fertile land, Henan Mansion is insufficient, from Henan Province and Huguang Province to annex and occupy, up to now, Fuwang Mansion has more than 40,000 hectares of land,

Zhu Changxun's three sons, the eldest son Zhu Youxiang was named the prince of Fuwang, Zhu Youqu was named the king of Yingshangjun, and Zhu Yousong was crowned the king of Dehuai County. Although it is not as numerous as the King of Zhou's family for more than 200 years, when it comes to the wealth and power of the palace, King Fu is second only to King Zhou among the kings of Henan.

has been a prince in Luoyang for 28 years, and he is used to being a powerful man, but now he wants him to move out of this palace that his father has built for him for more than ten years and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build, and he wants to dismiss all the eunuchs, palace people, and guards he is used to, and let him be a loner?

"Lord Qiqi, Lu Weiqi asks to see you."

Zhu Changxun half-raised his eyelids and said impatiently. "Why does this old man want to see the widow again? Tell him that the widow is not feeling well today, and he cannot see him. No matter what is big, let him come back another day. ”

The eunuch said, "Lord, Lu Weiqi said that he entered the palace today to ask to see him, and he had to see the prince, and he wouldn't leave if he didn't see the prince." ”

Did he say what was the matter? You won't be looking for money from the widow again, will you? ”

King Fu was not happy when he heard the name Lu Qiqi, and before the thieves besieged the city, Luoyang unanimously pushed Lu Weiqi to preside over the defense. As a result, after Lu Weiqi took over the defense. The first thing he did was to run to the palace, and he took a million silver dollars from him, and took them to reward the soldiers and the people for defending the city.

If it weren't for the fact that Luoyang was really in danger at that time, King Fu would never have come up with so much money. Thinking about it now, he still feels pain.

"Lord Wang, Lord Lu said that it was a matter of the country."

Zhu Changxun smiled, "It's about the country?" The Ming Dynasty has already perished, and the widow has become a common man, and the relationship between this country and the widow is still half a silver dollar? Jiangshan has nothing to do with widows. There's no need for this old man to worry about it. ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Lu said that it was the Ming Dynasty."

"Daming Jiangshan? Where is there a country in Daming? are all rebellious ministers and thieves, kingless and fatherless. Now that the whole world is welcoming that usurper, where can you still come to the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Changxun roared angrily. The frightened female eunuchs in the hall all trembled.

He waved his hand and told him to step back.

The musician began to continue playing, and Zhu Changxun closed her eyelids again.

Lately, he has been feeling a lot of sleepiness and his whole mind is dizzy. Swelling of the muscles of the limbs. After reading it, the doctor said that he was too fat, and said that he would let him lose weight. And let him eat lightly, and ask him to exercise more.

What a joke. He has a net worth of tens of millions, why can't he eat and drink what he wants, he is not poor haha, he can only porridge and wild vegetables every day. As for exercise, he had to gasp even two steps. He would rather lie down every day, and then the mountains are delicious and the beauties are constant, and this fairy-like day is enough.

But when I thought of Lu Weiqi, the old man's sticky plaster, I was afraid that he would really refuse to leave if he didn't see anyone like last time.

"Let the prince meet with Old Man Lu, if there is anything to ask him to talk to the prince."

The prince Zhu Youxiang is also a big fat man, but it is better than King Fu. He was listening to a play in his palace, and some time ago he sent someone to buy a troupe from Suzhou, and these days he is listening to music every day and singing every night.

After listening to the instructions of King Fu conveyed by the eunuch, Zhu Youxiang waved off the troupe, stood up with the help of the palace maid, first went to change his clothes and crown, and then was helped out by the eunuch, and then let Lu Weiqi come to see him.

Lu Weiqi entered the temple and knelt and bowed.

Zhu Youxiang gave the seat and tea.

"What is the matter with the gentleman?"

Lu Weiqi owes himself, "I came for the Daming Jiangshan Society." ”

"Sir, do you know that the imperial court has a decree today, ordering my father, son, and brothers to move out of the palace within a month, and to remove all the officials, guards, eunuchs, etc. in the palace?" Zhu Youxiang asked.

"Sir, if you are today, it is already the Han family surnamed Liu."

"His Royal Highness, when the Wanli Emperor Fengfu Wang was here, the original establishment of the country was a national barrier, and the country rested together. Now that the imperial court has been usurped by the rebellious ministers, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, as the domain of the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't he raise troops, build the Ming Dynasty again, and restore the world? ”

Zhu Youxiang was surprised, he looked at Lu Qiqi carefully, "Although my father and son are the domain of the Ming Dynasty, although they are in Luoyang, they are divided into feudal domains but not tin soil, the lords are not close to the people, and they are not governed by food. The palace guards commanded the envoys, and there were no soldiers and horses, but only a few palace guards. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World must not give up on himself, there are always many people in the world who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

"Ming loyalty, who, you?"

"The old minister is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and there are many people like the minister. Now there is such a person, not only loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but also he has an army of 100,000 people in his hands, and he and his subordinates are willing to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and recover the world. ”

Zhu Youxiang couldn't help but tremble.

Hurriedly asked, "This is true, who is this loyal minister, and where are his 100,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

"Your Majesty, this person is Li Zicheng! He and his 100,000 soldiers and horses are just outside Luoyang City! ”

Zhu Youxiang was completely stunned. (To be continued.) )
