It was getting dark, and the moonlight was particularly bright and clear.
There was a cool breeze blowing on the lake, and the fruits and wine on the table were chilled with ice cubes. Zhu Houzhao felt very comfortable while eating the fruits and drinking the wine.
"Jiang Bin, it's rare that you are so thoughtful. Let's take this banquet tonight as a farewell party for you. Tomorrow when you leave Beijing, I can't see you off publicly. I hope you understand this. I'm not looking down on you, but... ugh
, you are a smart person, you should understand this." Zhu Houzhao said.
Jiang Bin cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, Your Majesty. You don't have to say anything. The Emperor values me in your heart, and I am satisfied. I only hate that I am incompetent, unable to share the Emperor's worries, and have done wrong things. If I am not tolerated by the Protector of the Country, then that is too."
There is nothing you can do about it. I don’t blame anyone but myself for being ineffective.”
Zhu Houzhao picked up a glass of wine and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I will personally toast you a glass of wine as a farewell farewell to you. I wish you a good journey tomorrow."
Jiang Bin picked up the wine glass and came: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I also wish Your Majesty good health and long life."
Zhu Houzhao laughed and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Bin drank the wine and whispered: "Does your Majesty want to listen to music? I have invited the Jiaofangsi music class to sing a few songs to add to the fun?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I haven't listened to music for a long time."
Jiang Bin nodded and said in a deep voice to the women standing in the corner of the boat hall: "You guys sing."

All the girls agreed eagerly and picked up their instruments one after another and started playing. Amid the soft and ethereal sound of the guzheng, a woman in plain clothes sang softly: "Singing to wine, how many things are there in life. Like the morning dew, there will be many hardships in the past..."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and shouted: "What kind of depressing song are you singing? Bad luck!"
The woman was so frightened that her beauty turned pale, and she knelt down and kowtowed. The musicians also knelt down and kowtowed, trembling and frightened.
Jiang Bin hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this song is Cao Cao's short song line. Cao Cao is a great hero. This word does seem a bit bad, please change it."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand. Jiang Bin shouted: "Why don't you change the song?"
The girls hurriedly kowtowed in response, and the music started again. The woman in plain clothes sang: "April 17, it was today, last year, when I said goodbye to you. She held back her tears and lowered her face, half frowning in shame..."
Perhaps because of fear, the woman's voice trembled. But the trembling voice had a different flavor. After Zhu Houzhao listened to this for a while, it was exactly the tone of Huajian Ci that he liked. His expression was happy and he nodded slowly.
But I heard the woman continue to sing: "...I don't know that my soul has died, and there are dreams accompanying me. No one knows except the moon in the sky."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said angrily: "It's bad luck, what kind of soul has been broken? Fight it out."
The woman knelt down in shock and kowtowed, and Jiang Bin shouted: "You won't back down yet."

The girls from Zhonglefang hurriedly exited the boat hall and stood tremblingly on the bow of the boat, at a loss.
"The Jiaofang Secretary doesn't know what music to learn every day. I am very sad and extremely unlucky. I have to straighten myself out. I can't even listen to a pleasant tune." Zhu Houzhao said angrily to himself.
Jiang Bin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you calm down, just stop listening to the music. The same goes for us enjoying the moon and drinking wine."
Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly.
After that, Jiang Bin kept urging him to drink, and the two of them chatted and chatted while letting the dragon boat float on the lake. As time passed, Zhu Houzhao drank a lot of wine, and he became slightly smoky.
"Jiang Bin, I think we'll stop here today. I have to go back to the palace to rest. Let's dock." Zhu Houzhao said.
Jiang Bin nodded and said: "I obey your order. I will turn back now."
The guards outside punting the boat began to turn the boat's bow, slowly turning back from the north side of Taiye Lake, and once again passed the lake west of Qionghua Island.
At this moment, the sky is getting darker and the night is getting darker. The lake outside the boat hall is deep, and there seems to be a light mist rising.
The dragon boat is on the lake west of Qionghua Island. From the long window of the boat hall, you can see the cliffs on the west side of Qionghua Island. However, you can see the craggy rock walls and dense forests. The moon shines just above the cliffs, making the scenery desolate and cold.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember? On that cliff is the place where the Leopard House is located. Your Majesty once lingered here." Jiang Bin pointed at the dark cliff and suddenly said in a low voice.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Bin smiled and said: "I was just thinking of Liu Jin. In order to please the emperor, Liu Jin built a leopard house and kept many women the emperor liked in it. There are also many beasts raised on Qionghua Island. It was really a waste of time for him. Try your best to please the emperor."
Zhu Houzhao stared at Jiang Bin with drunken eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Bin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I'm talking about Liu Jin. He was loyal to the Emperor. He was in front of and behind the horse, and asked about the welfare. He was heartbroken for the Emperor. What happened in the end? He was cut to pieces by the Emperor. Haha, it was his own fault. If I had known it, The emperor is so unkind and unjust, why should he be so kind to the emperor?"
Zhu Houzhao was startled and shouted in a deep voice: "Jiang Bin, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Bin said softly: "Your Majesty, I am just expressing my sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox. I am also loyal to the Emperor. Isn't it the same as Liu Jin who was abandoned like worn out shoes? When the Emperor employs people, they come and go as soon as he is called. We We are all the emperor's dogs. If the emperor wants to use us, he will let us bite people. If he doesn't use us anymore, he will kill the dogs and stew them for meat. Your Majesty, is this true? I am right."
Zhu Houzhao stood up and shouted angrily: "Bitch, are you crazy? Are you talking to me like this?"
Jiang Bin said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, anger is very harmful to your health. Your Majesty, look at how beautiful the moonlight is tonight. But tonight is the Ghost Festival. Although the moonlight is beautiful, tonight is the day when hundreds of ghosts walk at night. I wonder if Liu Jin’s ghost will come out to seek the emperor’s life tonight. Hahaha, is the emperor afraid?”
Zhu Houzhao was horrified, and suddenly remembered that tonight was the Ghost Festival, which is the so-called ghost festival. Tonight a hundred ghosts walk at night, and the gate of ghosts is wide open. It is not appropriate to go out tonight, let alone admire the moon. He heard Jiang Bin laughing again Hey, it makes the hair on the hair stand on end and the scalp feels numb.

"Jiang Bin, what are you doing? Someone, someone, take Jiang Bin and send me ashore." Zhu Houzhao shouted.
No one on the entire ship answered, and the dozen or so guards on the ship stood there like clay and wood sculptures, motionless.
"Your Majesty, the people on this dragon boat are all my good brothers, Jiang Bin. Your Majesty, stop shouting, it's useless. We are several miles away from the shore, and the entire Xiyuan is also made up of my people on the shore. You shouted It's useless." Jiang Bin sat down and poured himself a drink.
Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Jiang Bin, I treat you well, what do you want?"
Jiang Bin drank a glass of wine and sneered: "Your Majesty, I am just a dog in your eyes. After the Lord Protector returns to Beijing, I will have no way out. The Emperor knows this, but he doesn't push me away." , It’s really chilling. I have no choice but to find a way to survive on my own. Your Majesty, I don’t want to be like Liu Jin, who was cut to pieces by a thousand knives.”
Zhu Houzhao said sternly: "What are you going to do to me? I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you dare to do anything bad to me, you will be cut into pieces with a thousand swords and the nine tribes will be annihilated. If you rein in your horse at the precipice, I can spare you."
Jiang Bin sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor. But if you die, you will no longer be the Emperor. There will be a new Emperor to replace you. The new Emperor can save my life, but you can't. So, I'm sorry.
, Your Majesty, I have no choice."
Zhu Houzhao's hands and feet became weak, and he shouted in a cold voice: "You dare to regicide... You dare to regicide? Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape. The ministers of the DPRK will cut you into pieces. The Lord Protector of England returns to Beijing.
You will die without a burial place."
Jiang Bin chuckled and said: "Who said I was going to kill you? The emperor himself fell into the water and drowned. What does it have to do with me, Jiang Bin? Furthermore, the news could not reach Zhang Yanling and the others. Mr. Yang, the chief minister of the cabinet, will preside over the meeting soon.
The overall situation is that before they come back, a new emperor will ascend the throne. Do the British Duke and the Protector dare to rebel? Hahaha. Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."
Zhu Houzhao was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe. Only now did he realize that this matter had something to do with Yang Tinghe. It was a conspiracy designed by collusion. He shouted loudly, grabbed the fruit plate on the table and threw it at Jiang Bin. Jiang
Bin sneered, turned his head to avoid it, stood up and grabbed Zhu Houzhao's robe.

Zhu Houzhao's robe was wide, and it was made of extremely tough silk clothing with good quality. Jiang Bin turned over the sleeves of his robe, turned it around Zhu Houzhao's body, and tied it up at the back. Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt like he was tied up with a rope.
Don't move.
Zhu Houzhao ran out in a hurry. Jiang Bin stretched out his foot and hooked Zhu Houzhao, causing Zhu Houzhao to fall to the ground.
"Do it!" Jiang Bin shouted.
The guards on the ship took action immediately. Two guards went down to the cabin and unloaded two loose ship planks. The lake water immediately poured in. The other guards had escorted more than a dozen Jiaofangsi women in and pushed them into the cabin one by one.
.The women shouted and cried, but to no avail.
Seeing that the lake water had submerged more than half of the cabin, the entire dragon boat had sunk half of the way, and the side of the boat was catching water. Jiang Bin reached out and grabbed Zhu Houzhao, carried him to the hatch of the boat, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go."
Zhu Houzhao begged with a trembling voice: "Jiang Bin, don't kill me, I will make you king, I will give you..."
Jiang Bin interrupted with a sneer, and threw Zhu Houzhao into the cabin, which splashed into the water. Two guards closed the cabin cover and pressed a ballast stone on top.
"Let's go!" Jiang Bin waved his hand and rushed out of the boat hall with more than ten guards. A small boat had stopped nearby. Everyone jumped on the boat and quickly headed towards the shore.
In the cabin, the water was up to his neck. Zhu Houzhao was originally a little aquatic. However, after entering the water, he heard the howling of ghosts and wolves around him, and the sound of women wailing. In the darkness, Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he fainted.
He struggled to break free, kicked his body and twisted, and he actually twisted the knot on his back. After his hands were free, he floated up with all his strength, his head reached the cabin board above, and finally breathed out. He had already seen the light on the cabin cover.
, he thought about opening the cover and going out. He just had to wait for Jiang Bin and the others to leave.

However, someone hugged his legs in the water below. Zhu Houzhao kicked the arms away, but the next moment, seven or eight arms touched him, and Zhu Houzhao was forcefully dragged into the water.
After drinking the first sip of water, Zhu Houzhao lost the ability to struggle. Gudong, gudong, gudong, gudong, until he drank until his stomach was full of lake water and he sank into the dark bilge.
The big dragon boat swayed, first the stern entered the water, and then the bow entered the water. All the palace lanterns and ribbons on the boat were annihilated in the darkness and disappeared under the dark lake water.
