Chapter 840 Burmese riots, reckless usurping the throne

Chen Zilong was stunned when he heard this: "Oh? There is such a thing? I really don't know."

Li Xiao sighed softly: "I just heard the Secret Letter of Security this morning and learned that the new king Mangbai was the younger brother of the former king Mangda. This man had been planning for a long time and brought troops into the palace and forced the king's family to kill. It was so cruel and inhumane."

Then, Li Xiao, who had a solemn look on his face, handed the Secret Letter from the Security Department to Chen Zilong to watch.

Chen Zilong took the letter and looked carefully, and finally learned about the general process of Mangbai's rebellion and usurpation of the throne.

Just a few days ago, after careful planning, Mangbai finally launched a coup in a seemingly ordinary night.

He took the official in charge of the corpse of Yajian as his inner support, and paralyzed the guards in the palace. He also took General Neimushanjue, the vanguard of Miaowadi, as the vanguard, and commanded the elite troops. In the palace where he was rebelling and surrendering, he quietly entered the palace of the King of Burma from Shanyamen.

Because the palace guards were lax and Mangbai and others had planned for a long time, the troops led by Neimushanjue sneaked into the palace, but no one reported it to the Burmese King Mangda. It was not until the army had entered the palace that the Burmese King heard the war drums and the noise outside, and was shocked.

Mangda urgently ordered the eunuch Ou Daman and E Gao to quickly go out of the palace to check. Only then did he realize that it was the king's younger brother Mangbai who rebelled and came to force the palace.

Odaman and others hurried back and told the Burmese King Mangda: "Your Majesty, it's not good! It's Prince Mang Bai's plan to rebel, and he has led his troops into the palace, and the guards in the palace cannot stop it!"

After listening to the two of them, the Burmese King Mangbai looked pale and was at a loss for a moment. The queen sat on the dragon bed, holding the eight-year-old prince Mingyedenkdu in her right hand and the four-year-old prince Xiaonadaeba in her left hand, and began to cry constantly, but there was no way to imagine.

Soon, Mangbai brought his subordinates into the palace with great momentum. More than 20 ministers and many eunuchs and palace maids were killed. In the palace, the bodies were in disarray and blood was flowing all over the ground.

When Mangbai entered the palace, his soldiers were already full of his subordinates. At this time, the Burmese King Mangda was not allowed to come out of the palace with the queen. The two sat on the dragon bed, both silently.

At this time, Mangbai saw that the king and the queen were both in the palace and none of them escaped. He knew that the overall situation had been settled, and he was secretly happy. But on the surface, this person looked very embarrassed and said to Mangda: "My brother didn't want to harm the king, but his officers and soldiers asked many times, and it would be difficult to do things without following their words, just like the Buddha could not resist the monks. Therefore, my brother had no choice but to lead the crowd to the palace to fulfill their request."

After hearing this person's false nonsense, Queen Adula Sandaldevi cried and said, "No need to say anything more, just let you be the king. We only hope that you can allow us to keep the precepts under your hands, and let your nephew and princess become monks together."

Mangbai shook his head and said, "How can this make any royal family in the Dongxu dynasty be monks? Even if I ask you to be monks, what should you do if you are used by others in the future? So most of you still have to return to secular life, and this method is absolutely not feasible."

After being rejected by Mangbai, Mangda, the Burmese king, sighed and said in a low voice: "Mangbai, now we are fish on the chopping board, so you can do whatever you want. I just hope that you can still remember your brotherhood, so that we can live a quiet life like an ordinary family. I can't be grateful for my brother."

At this time, Mangbai still had his affection for his father and brother. He felt ashamed when he heard Mangda's humble request. He also considered that he had just seized power and immediately slaughtered his brother's family, and he also lost his reputation, so he reported: "Brother, I have not thought about this issue specifically, but if there is no accident, I will not harm the brother's family, but I can rest assured."

So Mangbai ordered that the king's brother, sister-in-law, prince and grandson should be placed in the Queen's hall, which was considered peaceful house arrest, and he also sent people to serve the marquis every day and sent the food for the king's enjoyment.

However, after Mangbai's actions, such as Naiyama Mijue and Bian Yajian, were very dissatisfied with the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers were also very restless.

So, Naiyama Mijue, with a group of generals, urgently asked Mangbai to see him, and shouted to him: "Your Majesty, I will raise my head and commit rebellion with you, seize the throne, and have completely cut off my way out. But you are so weak to the family of the First Emperor and refuse to deal with it decisively, which really disappoints us. If this continues, it is like two days in the sky and two kings in the country, but there will be big trouble. At that time, if the First Emperor takes the opportunity to restore the throne, or the soldiers below cause rebellion, we will not be able to guarantee the safety of the Emperor."

The words of Uchiyama Mijue and others, coupled with the instigation of a group of treacherous ministers, made Yuujiu make up his mind to kill the royal family. He then ordered that all four of the royal family be thrown into the Qin Dunjiang River and drowned.

Poor, the king's family, all of them finally became ghosts drowning in the river.

What is pitiful is that the queen Adula Sandaldevi was dragged into the river by the soldiers' hair, and almost wailed all the way: "Heaven kills me! I chew my mouth and feed the big man, Yu Jin came to harm us!"

The queen's miserable wail made all the civil and military ministers watching cry, but no one dared to say a word.

Only the new ones laugh when they come, but who can hear the old ones cry?

Because the king Mangda was killed by his brother Mangbai thrown into the river, the Burmese people felt sorry for him and called the king "Yeqiamin". Later, in order to commemorate him, the Shiji Zhulin Temple where he lived when he was young was built into a five-story temple, so he was also called the donor of the five-story temple.

After reading this information, Chen Zilong sighed unconsciously about the cruel and bloody coup changes in Myanmar today.

However, he pondered for a moment and then asked Li Xiao: "I don't know how turmoil in the country of Myanmar will affect Zhu Youlang and others who live in Myanmar?"

When Li Xiao heard his question, he was silent.

Because Li Xiao, who came from later generations, knew that in real history, the extremely terrible spell water disaster occurred shortly after Mangbai usurped the throne.

In his previous life, on July 18, the 18th year of Shunzhi, the king of Myanmar, Mangbai, sent a message to Zhu Youlang, the Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty who fled to Myanmar, asking him to cross the river tomorrow, drink water and swore together to make friends.

Zhu Youlang and some ministers all saw that there was a fraud, but they were dependent on others and did not dare not to go, so they had to order Grand Secretary Ma Jixiang and Minister Mu Tianbo to go to the appointment. The next morning, Ma Jixiang and others came to the tower of the Burmese Army's garrison and were surrounded by the three thousand Burmese Army corps.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mu Tianbo immediately grabbed the knife and resisted. In the end, 42 officials of all sizes were outnumbered. Then the Burmese army rushed to Zhu Youlang's residence and chased a large number of Ming entourage personnel. Then he rushed into the residence of the monarch and ministers of Yongli to loot women of property. He also gathered 25 people including Zhu Youlang, the queen, the queen, the prince and other twenty-five people in a small house, and insulted the rest of the personnel and the families of the entourage officials.

It was not until the Burmese soldiers were plundered that the Burmese Minister Bian Yajian led him to Zhu Youlang's residence under the guidance of the news and ordered the Burmese soldiers: "The king has ordered him to be here, so that the emperor and Duke Mu should not be hurt. "This terrible disaster of cursing water ended.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help sighing again and said lightly: "Lying in my heart, I look at you. Zhu Youlang is afraid that he will be attacked by Mangbai soon. This man was unwise for a moment and insisted on running away from Myanmar. What kind of ending will be the result of his own fault."
