Dantu Town.

It was getting twilight.

The whole world began to darken.

Only by the light of candles reflected in the rows of blue bricks and daivar can you distinguish between the walking figures and the mottled shadows of the trees.

Zhu Youzhen and Empress Zhou, as well as Yuan Guifei and Chen Yuanyuan, entered Dantu Town under the escort of 300 elite soldiers personally led by He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor.

Dantu Town is located in the south of Zhenjiang City, close to the Yangtze River, and has a rich population.

However, at present, people's attention is focused on the southern tour team of the Ming Emperor in the river.

I didn't notice Zhu Youzhen and his party who suddenly broke into Dantu Zhen.

As soon as you enter Dantu Town.

Zhu Youzhen ordered He Xin to immediately find a building near the river as a temporary residence for him, the emperor.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you can't just stay on the dark bluestone streets.

Moreover, if you look for a pavilion as a temporary station, you can also see the situation of the southern patrol team on the river.

The whole world is Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, naturally doesn't care about trespassing on private houses.

As soon as He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, saw a quiet and elegant pavilion standing next to the verdant bamboo forest near the river, he took a hundred elite soldiers to break in first.

"What are you guys doing! Do you know whose residence this is? ”

Although He Xin is an eunuch, he is also a little rude in his work, and he directly knocks on the door of this building without knocking.

And the porter guarding the door was also alarmed, and came out angrily to accuse He Xin.

But when the porter saw He Xin wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife, and there were a hundred Ming officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck robes and holding Japanese knives behind him, he also shut his mouth.

"This official is He Xin, the eunuch of the imperial horse prison, who was temporarily requisitioned here as the place where the Ming Emperor was stationed, and all the idle people and others stayed in the house obediently, and there was no recklessness in the slightest, and those who violated the order will be killed!"

As He Xin spoke, he put an official silver weighing ten taels in the hand of the porter: "Tell your boss to prepare to boil tea immediately, and it is best not to play any tricks, otherwise this official will not be polite!" ”

As he spoke, He Xin turned around and commanded the hundred elite soldiers behind him: "Go! Guard all the key places, including the front and back exits of this building, if idle people pass by, listen to the whistle of the official, if there is a must, kill it first! ”

After He Xin gave the order, he quickly ran out and bowed to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, please come in." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, glanced at Empress Zhou and Yuan Guifei, and walked in first.

Empress Zhou smiled at Zhu Youzhen, and personally came over to hold Yuan Guifei's hand: "This big night, Your Majesty is really good at playing tricks." ”

Yuan Guifei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "The slave family doesn't dare to laugh at Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is also for the sake of your safety, and please take care of your mother." ”

Saying that, Yuan Guifei also glanced at Chen Yuanyuan: "You follow first, Your Majesty must have someone by your side to block cold guns and arrows at any time, and I have to protect Niangniang here." ”

Chen Yuanyuan followed, and as soon as he arrived in front of Zhu Youzhen, he saw a woman in white walking down from the attic with a bewitching gait.

Zhu Youzhen also saw this person, and only felt that this person was graceful, holding a pipa, with slender fingers, because of the wooden wall, he couldn't see his true face.

But there is no need to guess, the owner of this pavilion must be a heroine.

Zhu Youzhen, as a dignified emperor, dared to break into the boudoir of other women.

Zhu Youzhen glared at He Xin, He Xin lowered his head embarrassedly, he didn't notice that the owner of this attic was a woman, he just casually saw that this attic had the best and most iconic view of the river.

Only Empress Zhou couldn't help laughing at this time: "Your Majesty is really blessed." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and didn't speak, but ordered: "The girl doesn't have to go downstairs, I broke into the private place for no reason, I offended a lot, now I need the girl's attic to use, the girl can avoid it, I only stay here for one night, and I will leave after one night, so naturally I won't ruin the girl's reputation." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the slave family obeys the order", at this time, there was a clear sound, sweet as glutinous rice, like chicken feathers teasing the ears, Zhu Youzhen's heart suddenly rose, and he couldn't wait to run over to see the true face of this woman.

However, now that his queen and concubine are here, and there are so many people watching, he can't behave too much.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen can only continue to be stable as an emperor.

After the woman went upstairs, he asked He Xin to lead the way in front, and then went up to the attic.

As soon as he went upstairs, Zhu Youzhen felt that the whole boudoir was fragrant.

I saw a large brocade bed in the center of the room.

A jade-white gauze tent hangs on a brocade bed, and a pink brocade mattress and rosin-colored round pillows are covered in the gauze tent.

A warm cat with white and gray was lying on the futon, looking at Zhu Youzhen with dripping eyes, and meowing from time to time.

On the opposite side of the brocade bed is a diorama for dressing.

Under the diorama is an agate bowl, as well as a delicate fat powder box and a jade ruyi, as well as a medicine bottle with the word "Bliss" written on it.

Qiu Shizhou's Shuangyan picture hangs next to a pile of unstained books.

In the middle of the book is a copy of the "Words of the Golden Vase Plum" engraved in the forty-third year of Wanli.

Next to the book is a hollow carved yellow rosewood chair, and next to the wooden chair is a jasmine carved hanger.

Also hanging on the hanger are two garnet-colored pleated skirts and a sky-blue cardigan with a grass-green belly pocket.

If it weren't for his queen and concubine here, he really wanted to go and smell the fragrance.

The gentle and elegant sound of the lute came.

Zhu Youzhen looked back and followed the sound, only to find that he and the hostess of the attic avoided behind the silk screen, and his proud peaks and hands playing the strings could still be faintly visible.

The tune is not hurried or slow, and it is intoxicating to listen to.

It was evident that the woman was not nervous about the sudden appearance of her emperor, nor was she frightened by the fact that there was an unintelligible samurai beside her who was holding a sword at her.

Zhu Youzhen walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked at the vast river not far ahead through the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind:

"Which one is my imperial boat?"

"There are nine lanterns on the bow of the boat", He Xin pointed with his hand, and said: "However, it seems to be very calm at this time." ”

He Xin's words just fell.

Zhu Youzhen saw that a fire suddenly broke out on the river, and the boat He Xin pointed out just now, that is, Zhu Youzhen's imperial boat, actually burst open directly, making a boom!

Even here, Zhu Youzhen could hear the sound of the wooden boat breaking and the sound of the water waves.

Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly turned cold.

He Xin also looked solemn.

At this moment, there was a sound of wild laughter on the path outside the bamboo forest below the attic.

As soon as he saw a few people coming over, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly waved his hand to He Xin.

He Xin understood, and blew a whistle to indicate that he would not move for a while, and the soldiers who were ambushed at the intersection of the bamboo forest still hid in the shadows.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our plan has succeeded, Chongzhen can only stay in the seventeenth year after this year, and I can report this matter to Gong Qian."

"As a historian of Hanlin, I will remember this after returning to Nanjing, at three o'clock on the evening of the eighth day of the sixth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when the imperial boat traveled to the Dantu ferry, it suddenly went out of the water, and the emperor of Daxing fell into the water and died."

"Haha, Brother Wu is worthy of being the third family of Jiang Zuo, if this pen falls on the history, I can't help but believe it for future generations, but it's a pity that we can't go to the river to see the Chongzhen falling into the water, and the officials are panicking."

"What's so difficult about this, Hou has a confidante in the attic in the forest, let's go up, and you can see the situation on the river through the window in her, I'm afraid that you can still see Chongzhen's crying, brothers, please follow Hou."

After these people finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen ordered: "You can arrest them!" ”
