It is May now, and Wuchang is located at the north-south dividing line. Although it is early summer, the wind is still strong on the river. The old eunuch named Zhang who followed Zhu Youlang to the north said, "Your Highness, the wind is strong on the river. Please enter the cabin!"

Zhu Youlang nodded when he heard Old Eunuch Zhang say this, and walked into the cabin. There were already four cool, six hot and ten plates of side dishes, and a pot of yellow wine warmed up beside him.

Zhu Youlang saw these and smiled, "Old Zhang has to worry. He will cross the Yangtze River in a while. Do you still need to drink?"

Old Eunuch Zhang bowed and said, "Your Highness doesn't know anything. Now the Hanyang Mansion Wharf opposite Wuchang is busy. I guess we can't rely on the shore for less than two hours. At the same time, the wind is very strong, so drinking some wine will warm your body!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youlang nodded and sat down to eat and drink. Old Eunuch Zhang said to several small eunuchs in the house: "You go out, we are here to serve our master!"

Seeing the little eunuch go out, Old Eunuch Zhang reaches out and pours a glass of wine for Zhu Youlang. Zhu Youlang drinks it in one sip and tastes pretty good.

"Old Zhang, what did you do in Prince Gui's Mansion before? Why don't I remember you?"

The old eunuch sighed and said, "I was just a tragic eunuch in Prince Gui's mansion back then. The prince was the prince. I can see the old slave there!"

Zhu Youlang sighed when he heard the old eunuch say this. He remembered that he was not favored by his father Zhu Changying back then. He was just a concubine son back then. If Fengyunjihui had not been able to inherit the throne, he would have become the emperor in the end.

"Yes! You were like me back then, and you were all over the world! By the way! How did you go to Nanjing?"

The old eunuch laughed and said, "Your Highness, I have a brother and two nephews in front of me, so I went to Nanjing to join my nephew!"

Zhu Youlang was wrong. When this old eunuch came to announce the imperial edict last month, he said he would go to Guangdong and then go to Nanjing with Zhu Hongsan? Why has he turned into a nephew going to Nanjing to join his nephew?

"Old Zhang, didn't you say you went to Guangdong last month? Why did you go to join your nephew again?"

At this time, the old eunuch walked to the opposite side of Zhu Youlang and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all and said, "I lied to Your Highness, but I can't do anything about it!"

Zhu Youlang heard the old eunuch's words wrong, and felt a sense of crisis in his heart again and asked quickly: "I lied to me? What did I lied to me?"

The old eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "I deceived Your Highness into drinking. The wine is poisonous! Your Highness should not blame Lao Nu. They threatened Lao Nu with Lao Nu's nephew, and Lao Nu had no choice!"

Zhu Youlang's abdomen began to hurt severely. He knew that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and grabbed the old eunuch's wrist and asked, "Is it Zhu Hongsan? Did he ask you to kill me?"

At this time, purple and black blood had flowed out of the corner of the old eunuch's mouth. The old eunuch said, "Your Highness, sooner or later, why are you still caring about these things?"

Zhu Youlang knew that he would die, but there was his son Zhu Cixuan on the boat! Zhu Youlang had a hard time, and the other sons died on the way to escape. Now there was only one son left. How could he not care about it now?

Zhu Youlang grabbed the old eunuch's hand and shouted: "You tell Zhu Hongsan that Zhu Cixuan is just a ten-year-old child. He doesn't know what he wants to save his life!"

The old eunuch said slowly: "No, it's too late! Your Majesty has ordered no one to keep!" The old eunuch tilted his head and lost his breath after saying that.

At this time, the cabin door was pushed open, and four masked men in black clothes came in. When Zhu Youlang saw it, he quickly shouted: "Are you sent by Zhu Hongsan? You told Zhu Hongsan that I can die, please spare my son's life! Otherwise, I would not let Zhu Hongsan go, that foolish monarch!"

One of the men in black looked at Zhu Youlang. At this time, black blood flowed out of the corner of Zhu Youlang's mouth, and he was about to die. The man in black said, "Your Highness, it's too late to say anything now. Your Highness, Your Highness, the prince, has returned to heaven at this time. The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, should go on the road early!"

Zhu Youlang didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan was so cruel and ruthless that he would not even let a ten-year-old child go. Zhu Youlang turned his back at this time and shouted loudly: "Taizu, Taizu, you drowned Xiao Ming King back then, and now the retribution is on your descendants!" After Zhu Youlang said that, glaring at his eyes and cursing: "Tell Zhu Hongsan, I... I will not let him go even if I become a ghost!" Zhu Youlang finished speaking without a word.

The man in black came forward and looked at it and said, "Okay. Zhu Youlang is dead, how are you preparing?"

The other three men in black said, "Don't worry, there is no living in the boat now! The water gate at the bottom of the boat has been opened, and the boat will sink to the bottom of the river in another quarter of an hour!"

The man in black in the head nodded and said, "Okay, you all know what the master means, only dead people can keep the secret!"

The other three nodded, took out the poison pills that had been prepared from their arms and swallowed them. After a while, they all died of black blood. The person in the leader nodded and also swallowed the poison pills. The four of them died together with Zhu Youlang, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youlang and his team of five ships, each of which was more than 500 meters apart. At this time, he had already reached the center of the Yangtze River, which was the most turbulent place. The second ship behind suddenly discovered why the ship in front was gradually slowing down, and the river water had already spread to the deck.

The second ship was Zhu Youlang's wife Wang, a few nobles, and a hundred Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei Qianhu, led by the leader, was very anxious when he saw that there was a situation. This was Jiang Xin. If there was any accident in King Gui, they would not survive. At the same time, the Jinyiwei Qianhu was secretly shocked. Why didn't he receive the news that the emperor was going to kill King Gui? Could it be that the guys from the East Factory did it?

The Qianhu quickly used the banner to ask about the situation, but no one on the first ship came out, and the deck was empty. The Qianhu quickly ordered the ship's owner to lean on it and wanted to see what the situation was. No matter what else, at least he had to rescue Zhu Youlang.

However, the first ship was man-made. Before the rear ship could approach, it had completely sunk into the river. At this time, several ships from the rear team also approached. The general who was escorting Zhu Youlang saw that something big happened. The emperor's imperial edict was to safely escort King Gui to Beijing. Now that half of the people have sunk to the river, what should I do if the general is afraid that the mastermind behind this matter is the emperor himself. If he wants to take the blame, what crime will he kill the prince? He will not be executed in the whole family!

The general had no choice but to retreat to Wuchang and quickly contacted the Governor's Office to salvage the wrecked ship.

Liu Silai, the governor of Huguang, was also shocked when he heard the news, but the first thing he thought was that the emperor wanted to kill Zhu Youlang. After all, the biggest beneficiary of Zhu Youlang's death was the emperor.

Although Liu Silai suspected the emperor, he had to bear joint and several liability for those who died in his own jurisdiction. There was no way, Liu Silai quickly sent the news to Beijing with four hundred miles of documents. He also had to organize people to salvage the shipwreck and the body.

Zhu Hongsan received news from the Governor of Huguang fifteen days later, and then he realized that the ship Zhu Youlang was riding sank into the Yangtze River and the man was probably dead. When Zhu Hongsan saw the document, he recalled first when he ordered Zhu Youlang to be killed? But after careful consideration, it was not so. Who did that? Does anyone dare to falsely pass the imperial edict?

Zhu Hongsan kicked the desk over and scolded: "Who is it? Who dares to falsely pass on my orders! Lao Li, your Dongchang sent a team of elite troops to Wuchang to see how Zhu Youlang died!"

When Li Chengen was furious when he saw Zhu Hongsan, he quickly went down to organize people to Wuchang. In fact, in Li Chengen, he thought it was Zhu Hongsan who did it. After all, Zhu Hongsan always did this kind of thing. Wasn't the King of Lu Zhu Yihai the one you, Zhu Hongsan, secretly killed?

The emperor ordered that the Dongchang immediately sent a capable person headed by Luo Qifeng, the Dongchang chief of the thousand-member prisoner, to Wuchang, to rush to Wuchang, but Beijing was thousands of miles away from Wuchang, and everything was cold when it arrived.

However, Liu Silai still did some preparations in the early stage. Liu Silai sent people downstream to salvage the corpses. Zhu Youlang's body was not caught, but instead he caught the corpses of the old eunuch and some others. Although these corpses were soaked in the water for two days, the cause of death can still be seen by the coroner of Fengtian Mansion. The old eunuch died of poisoning and the others were all cut off with one knife.

The weather was very hot at this time and the corpses could not be left for a long time. Liu Silai had no choice but to marinate the old eunuch's body with salt, and the bodies of several other people were cremated.

Half a month later, the staff of the East Factory arrived and found that the old eunuch died of a very poison. However, because the body was damaged by salt, they didn't know what poison they used. The people of the East Factory had no choice but to report the matter to the emperor truthfully.

At this time, the whole of Beijing already knew about Zhu Youlang's murder in the Yangtze River. Although all the officials did not say it on the surface, they thought it was Zhu Hongsan who did it. The reason was very simple. Zhu Hongsan, you have a criminal record.

Zhu Hongsan saw that there were many rumors in the court, and he could not explain the key. This kind of thing could only be described as darker and darker. In the end, Zhu Hongsan could only order the cabinet. If any officials in the capital were discussing this matter, they would immediately get rid of the official position and would never be hired, so they would be bet on the rumors.

Rumors have been suppressed, but how can the hatred in Zhu Hongsan's heart be eliminated? Zhu Hongsan originally thought that the intelligence agencies were under his absolute control, but Zhu Youlang's incident made Zhu Hongsan discover that he had a secret organization that did not belong to him. What if these people ran to the palace one day and claimed Zhu Hongsan's life?
