Chapter 490
Inside the red palace wall is the Fu Palace.
The thief retreated, and King Fu returned to his life of being licentious and living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun shines on the towering yellow glazed tiles, highlighting two completely different worlds from Luoyang City, which is separated by a wall.
The sound of the sheng and pipa was faintly heard in the palace courtyard, and the sandalwood boards were tapped, and the woman sang in a lush voice.
In the bedroom behind Fu'an Palace, King Fu Zhu Changxun lay in a carved gold-painted ring chair covered with white bear's skin mattress, stretched out his legs, and his feet wearing yellow satin boots were on the carved sandalwood short table.
He knelt on two palace maids on the left and right, and was gently hammering his thighs on his behalf. The other two palace maids were sitting on low stools on both sides, one of whom placed one of his arms on his legs and gently hammered them.
Everyone knows that King Fu is fat, but it is extremely rare to be fat as King Fu.
His arm was worse than the thighs of the palace maids, and he pressed on the thighs of the palace maids. After a long time, the palace maids couldn't stand it. However, King Fu's belly was bigger, his belly was round and raised high, just like a big iron pot bend in his clothes.
The whole person was huddled in the chair, like a big ball under the yellow python robe.
Not far from his feet, a young singer was playing the lute, while the other was kneeling and accompanied by a cave.
The beauty played the piano, but the King of Fu was lying in the chair and snoring. The snoring sounded loudly, completely destroying the beautiful piano Xiaoheji.
At the end of the song, King Fu immediately stopped snoring. He raised his eyelids and was still lying in the chair.
Ask lazyly.
"Is the bear's paw stewed?"
A eunuch standing behind took a few steps forward and bowed, "Report to the prince, I have just been to the kitchen. There is no bear's paw for dinner tonight. Tonight's main course is roasted hump and fried deer liver, as well as bird's nest and shark fin."
"Why don't there be a bear's paw?" King Fu opened his eyes and showed a fierce light.
"Your Majesty, you have been siege for a long time. Although you have withdrawn now, the surrounding area is still occupied by thieves, so it is really rare to supply bear paws. The stewed bear paws yesterday are already the last pair."
Zhu Changxun snorted coldly, "Every day, the hump, deer liver, bird's nest, shark fin, I'm tired of eating it, so can't I get something fresh?"
The eunuchs should be.
Seeing that King Fu was about to close his eyes and sleep again, Si Le's palace maid hurried over and knelt down, "Prince, do you want me to retreat?"
"Continue to play music. Come and have a quieter song, and I want to sleep for a while."
"Why are you playing a song of autumn moon in the Han Palace, and the pipa and zheng ensemble?"
The King of Fu, who had already closed his eyes, opened his eyes all at once, raised his feet and panted towards the weak Le Nu. He hit her heart. Le Nu fell over and fell to her, but he fainted when he lay on the ground.
"Bitch, what's wrong with playing? You want to play the Qiuyue of Hangong. Badmaid, why don't you rap the song of the wind?"
The group of people in the hall were so scared that they didn't dare to say anything. They could only look at the unlucky girl with their eyes. She lay there quietly, not knowing life and death.
"Are you like this little maid, and you wish you could leave the royal palace as soon as possible?" Zhu Changxun shouted.
"I dare not." A group of people knelt down and begged for mercy.
The thieves had just withdrawn, but Zhu Changxun's mood was far worse than when they were besieged. As long as he broke into the thieves and siege, everyone was willing to defend Luoyang as long as he broke into the thieves and siege. But now, Liu Jiye usurped Zhu Ming's world, and now he is a great man.
As soon as Liu Jiye ascended the throne, he said it was good to treat the royal family of the previous dynasty. But he was aggressive. Today, he was the privilege of the royal family of the royal family, and tomorrow he asked the royal family of the previous dynasty to pay the taxes that had been arrears for the past five years, and the day after tomorrow he confiscated their royal family. Now they have to check their land contracts. It is said that all the land that was devoted must be restored to the original owner and returned to the original owner.
Today he had just received an order from the court that he wanted to disband the officials in the royal palace. He removed all the officials in the Fu Palace, including the Chief Secretary, the Guard Commander, the Yiwei Department, etc., and they had to be left without any of them.
In the future, there were no eunuchs who served him. There were no guards guarding the royal palace. The superiors even ordered them to move out of the royal palace, saying that the royal palace was against the rules and could not live anymore.
It can be imagined that this is definitely not the end, and there will definitely be more difficulties in the future.
Maybe one day, the usurper will no longer be hypocritical and will kill all their descendants of the Zhu family, or exil to overseas Taiwan or Hainan islands.
King Fu was the third son of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, and his mother was Concubine Zheng, the most favored by Wanli. At that time, Wanli wanted to make him the crown prince, which eventually led to a dispute over the foundation of the country. The monarch and ministers had been arguing for fifteen years. In the end, due to the firm opposition of the Empress Dowager and the ministers, Zhu Changxun was named King Fu and Zhu Changluo was named Prince of the Crown.
In other words, King Fu was the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen and the uncle of Emperor Longwu. In the past, Liu Jiye was the adopted son of Chongzhen and was also included in the Zhu family genealogy. King Fu was also Liu Jiye's uncle.
But now, Liu Jiye usurped Zhu Ming's country and wanted to kill him, his uncle.
Zhu Changxun was once the favorite prince of Wanli and once wanted to make him the crown prince. In the end, it was delayed for fifteen years. When Zhu Changxun was sixteen years old, he was named King of Fu.
After failing to become the crown prince, Wanli and Concubine Zheng felt that they owe this son a lot, so they made up for it.
Wanli moved King Yi, who was originally a vassal of Luoyang, to Yongning, and then conferred Zhu Changxun to Luoyang, and repaired the palace for him. The Luoyang Prefecture reached 380,000, ten times the normal system. The palace was built for more than ten years, and it was not until Zhu Changxun was twenty-eight years old that his country was made Luoyang, Henan Prefecture.
He was granted 20,000 hectares of land at one time and gave him specialty privileges such as salt and tea.
Zhu Changxun was vassalized by Luoyang for 28 years. He relied on his power to annex land everywhere and occupied fertile land. Henan Prefecture was insufficient, so he had annexed from Henan Province and Huguang Province. To this day, the Fu Palace had more than 40,000 hectares of land.
Zhu Changxun's three sons, Zhu Yousheng, was named Prince Fu, Zhu Youqu was named Prince Yingshang, and Zhu Yousong was named Prince Dehuai. Although he was not as rich as the Zhou kings for more than 200 years, if we talk about the wealth and power of the royal palace, King Fu was second only to King Zhou among the kings in Henan.
He has been a prince in Luoyang for twenty-eight years and is used to being powerful and prosperous. Now he wants him to move out this palace that his father has built for more than ten years and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. He wants to disperse all the eunuchs, palace servants, guards and others he used to, and let him be a lonely man?
"Your Majesty, Lu Weiqi is asking for a meeting."
Zhu Changxun raised his eyelids halfway and said impatiently, "Why do this old man want to see me again? Tell him that I feel uncomfortable today. I can't see him. No matter what big things happen, let him come again next day."
The eunuch said, "Prince, Lu Weiqi said he went to the palace to ask for a meeting today. He must see the prince, but he will not leave if he doesn't see the prince."
"Did he say what's going on? He's not asking me for money again, right?"
King Fu was unhappy when he heard the name Lu Xueqi. He had previously siege the thieves and besieged the city, and Luoyang unanimously recommended Lu Weiqi to take charge of defense. As a result, the first thing Lu Weiqi did was to run to the palace. He wanted to leave one million silver dollars from him and reward the soldiers and the people to defend the city.
If it weren't for the fact that Luoyang was in danger at that time, King Fu would never have been willing to pay so much money. Now, he still felt pain.
"Prince, Lord Lu said it is related to the country."
Zhu Changxun smiled, "It's about the country? The Ming Dynasty has destroyed its country, and I have become a commoner. This country has nothing to do with me, so there is no need for this old man to worry about it."
"Prince, Lord Lu said it was the Ming Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty? Where can the Ming Dynasty have the country? They are all rioters and traitors. People without kings and fathers. Now the world has been greeted by the usurper, where can the Ming Dynasty still come?" Zhu Changxun roared angrily, frightened all the female eunuchs in the palace trembled.
He waved his hand and asked someone to retreat.
The musician began to continue playing music, and Zhu Changxun closed his eyelids again.
Recently, he always feels sleepy, his whole mind is dizzy, and his limbs are swollen. After seeing it, the doctor said that he is too fat, and he also said that he wants to lose weight. He also wants him to eat light food and exercise more.
It's really a joke. He has a net worth of tens of millions. Why can't he eat what he wants to eat and drink? He is not poor, he can only porridge wild vegetables every day. As for exercise, he has to breathe even when he takes two steps. He would rather lie down every day. Then there are delicious delicacies and beauties, and this fairy-like life is enough.
But then I thought of the old man Lu Weiqi's sticky plaster, and I was afraid that he would really not see anyone and refuse to leave like last time.
"Let the prince meet Old Man Lu, and if there is anything he wants to ask the prince to tell me."
The prince Zhu Yousong is also a fat man, but it is better than King Fu. He is listening to opera in his palace. Some time ago, he sent someone to buy a opera troupe from Suzhou. These days, he is listening to music every day and singing every night.
After listening to the instructions of the Fu King conveyed by the eunuch, Zhu Yousong retreated from the opera troupe and stood up with the help of the palace maids. He first changed his clothes and then helped the eunuch out, and then he sent someone to see Lu Weiqi.
Lu Weiqi entered the hall and performed a kneeling ceremony.
Zhu Yousong gave him a seat and tea.
"What happened to sir?"
Lu Weiqi bowed, "Come for the country and country of Ming Dynasty."
"Sir, can you tell that the imperial court has a decree today, and that my father, son and brothers and others will move out of the palace within one month, and all the officials, guards and eunuchs in the palace will be removed?" Zhu Yousong asked.
"Sir, today, it is already the world of the Han family's Liu family."
"Your Highness, when Emperor Wanli appointed King Fu, he was here. He originally planned to establish a country of ten thousand times to serve as a barrier to the country and to rest with the country. Now that the court has been usurped by the rebels, his Highness, as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't he raise an army to build the Ming Dynasty again and regain the world?"
Zhu Yousong was shocked, and he looked at Lu Huiqi carefully, "Although my father and son were vassals of the Ming Dynasty and were vassals of Luoyang, he was divided into feudals without placing the titles and did not follow the people's food and salary and did not rule the affairs. The commander of the royal palace guards had no soldiers, but only a few royal palace guards. How could they raise an army to revive the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince must not give up on himself. There are always many people in the world who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
"Loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, who, are you?"
"The old minister is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and there are many like me. Now there is such a person who is not only loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but also has an army of 100,000 people in his hands. He and his subordinates are willing to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and restore the world."
Zhu Yousong couldn't help but tremble all over.
He asked quickly, "Be serious, who is this loyal minister? Where is his 100,000 troops?"
"Your Majesty, this person is Li Zicheng! He and his 100,000 troops are outside Luoyang City!"
Zhu Yousong was completely stunned. (To be continued.)
