When robbed by bandits, there are two choices. One gives money to keep himself safe. The two resisted desperately, but their lives were in danger. Most people may choose the former, and the ancients said that the green mountains should not be worried about the lack of firewood. But everyone knows that robbers are robbers, and they are insatiable and greedy.

If you don't resist robbing you of ten taels of silver today, you will rob you of a hundred taels tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will rob your house, and then you will take your wife and concubine. If you resist the first time, you may be able to find like-minded people to fight the enemy together. But if you keep giving in, those who see you behave like this will either spurn and turn away from you, or they will follow your example and keep safe.

When you have no way to retreat, can you still resist?

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Jiang Xia suddenly thought of himself.

At this moment, in order to protect Mingzhe's life, he has been reluctant to return to Jingshi. But this is what Wang Shouren said, if Zhu Houzhao really encounters something unexpected one day, and he returns to Beijing, will he still be able to fight with those people in Wanhuang Dongchang?

Even if he still endures Mingzhe to protect himself at that time, can he still be as safe and worry-free as he is now?

For the first time in his heart, Jiang Xia began to think about the question of whether what he was doing now was right or wrong, and of course, he couldn't get any answer to this question for a while.

Jiang Xia picked up his wine glass and said to Wang Shouren: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, and I feel like an initiation when I hear it, which makes me feel stunned." If you don't dislike it, please allow me to help you and send someone to escort you to Jiangxi. ”

Wang Shouren smiled, picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine, and then poured another glass for Jiang Xia. He picked up his wine glass and smiled gently at Jiang Xia: "In fact, it can be seen that Master Hou is also a warm-hearted person, if you have nothing to do, come with me to appreciate the customs of Jiangxi, which is actually very good." ”

Jiang Xia looked at Wang Shouren in surprise, his mouth slightly open and couldn't close it for a long time.

This guy is too aggressive. Jiang Xia looked at Wang Shouren and couldn't help but sigh: "Seriously, I used to make you an idol and thought you were a saint. But now that I know you, why do I think you're thicker than mine? ”

Wang Shouren was not angry at all after hearing this, he laughed, and he said to Jiang Xia: "The sage establishes the way, let the world follow it." If you don't have thick skin, how can you do that? ”

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, and said to Wang Shouren with a funny smile: "Then according to what Mr. said, saints are all cheeky?" ”

Wang Shouren shook his head: "No, no, no." The saint is not only thick-skinned, but also shameless. ”

"Hahahaha" Jiang Xia looked up and laughed, he poured Wang Shouren a glass of wine, and then poured himself another glass. Jiang Xia picked up the wine glass and said to Wang Shouren: "Okay, just with Mr.'s sentence 'the saint is shameless', I will go with you this trip to Jiangxi." ”

In the evening of the same day, Wang Shouren stayed in the palace of the Marquis of Hulong, and in the evening Wang Shouren discussed with Jiang Xia, preparing to leave for Jiangxi early the next morning.

But the problem is that Jiangxia is a little difficult at this time, what should Zhu Yujiang, the little guy, do if he goes to Jiangxi?

In the end, Jiang Xia decided to take Zhu Yujiang to Jiangxi together.

As Zhu Yujiang's master, he will definitely not be able to teach him too many things, it just so happens that there is a great Confucian in Wang Yangming's era, and Zhu Yujiang may learn more things with him.

In the past five years, the power of Qianmen has developed rapidly with the support of Jiangxia's large amount of silver, like Bu Jinyun and Yin Renmian, they all have their own things to do, so Jiang Xia brought with him this time only Qianjuxing, Xiao Kill and Su Meiniang.

Needless to say, Qianjue Xing and Xiao Kill are both first-class masters, and they take them with them to complete. But there is another reason for taking Su Meiniang, that is, Jiang Xia is used to having Su Meiniang with her wherever she goes.

And Su Meiniang also enjoys this state, she follows Jiang Xia wherever she goes, just like a shadow when Jiang Xia goes out.

The two of them are now considered to be interested in Lang's concubine, but they didn't pass the last hurdle.

I don't know why, maybe it's just a lack of an opportunity.

Due to Zhu Yujiang's presence, all Jiang Xia, Su Meiniang, Zhu Yujiang and Wang Shouren chose to take a carriage, Qianjue Xing was responsible for driving the horse, and Xiao Kill followed on horseback.

Jiangxi is adjacent to Jiangnan, so the road to Jiangxi is not far away, and everyone is not in a hurry.

In the carriage, Jiang Xia asked Wang Shouren. "Sir, if one step forward is death, one step back is death, and standing still is death, what will you do?"

Jiang Xia is actually talking about himself, going forward, that is, returning to the capital and then making enemies with everyone. Stepping back, that is, Mingzhe protects himself step by step, and waits until the opponent has his hands free before dealing with himself. Standing still, that is also a chance to give the opponent a chance to slowly figure it out.

Wang Shouren pondered for a while and didn't answer, but Zhu Yujiang in the carriage opened his mouth and said, "Then go to the side." ”

Wang Shouren was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then laughed, he reached out and touched the long beard on his chin, and said, "This kid is right. ”

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Yujiang and muttered, "Go to the side?" ”

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xia seemed to have an understanding, turned his head to look at Zhu Yujiang, and reached out to rub his little head.

As a result, Zhu Yujiang hurriedly pushed Jiang Xia's hand away, and then said to himself: "One, add one, then there are two." Zhu Yujiang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, I wasn't stupid by Taifu." ”

Jiang Xia was speechless for a moment, he had to admit that he really didn't understand the world of bear children

Just when Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren were rushing to Shanxi, the giant wheel of history seemed to be turning again.

Lou Guangnan, the imperial historian who had just returned to Beijing from Jiangxi, wrote a letter and presented it to Zhu Houzhao, and the content of the note was mainly about the details of King Ning's possible rebellion.

After Zhu Houzhao saw this letter, he immediately summoned Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, to face the saint in the leopard room.

Seeing Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houzhao handed him the letter. After Yang Tinghe finished reading it, Zhu Houzhao asked him: "What does Aiqing think?" Will King Ning be opposed? ”

This matter is a matter of importance, and Yang Tinghe obviously does not dare to talk nonsense. He bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, this matter is too serious, and without real evidence, Weichen does not dare to make assertions."

But Weichen thinks that since Lou Yushi dares to say this, then there must be a reason for him. And the notes are written in detail and clearly, and do not seem to be fake. Just in case, Weichen thinks it's better to take precautions in advance. ”

"How can I prevent it?" Zhu Houzhao said.

Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said, "Weichen has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible. The emperor can follow the example of Emperor Xuande to deal with this matter like Emperor Zhao, and I believe it will be more secure. ”

"Emperor Xuande vs. King Zhao?" Zhu Houzhao thought about it and bowed slightly, looked at Yang Tinghe and asked, "You mean to ask me to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?" ”

Yang Tinghe bowed to Zhu Houzhao and shouted: "The emperor is wise." ”

In the first year of Xuande, when the King of Han openly rebelled, Emperor Xuande personally led an army to suppress his rebellion. At that time, King Zhao was also implicated in this rebellious conspiracy, but he did not have time to take action. So Emperor Xuande copied a copy of the minister's notes against King Zhao and sent it to him as a warning. After that, King Zhao never dared to move any dissent, but was grateful to Dade because he felt that Emperor Xuande was open to him.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, handed the song to Yang Tinghe and said, "Let someone copy it, and send Zhang Yong to personally take someone to Jiangxi to give this song to King Ning." In addition, let him hand over the guards of King Ning's Mansion, or let him be a 'virtuous king' with peace of mind like before. ”

"Yes." After Yang Tinghe answered, he took the piece and retreated.

After Zhang Yong received the imperial order conveyed by Yang Tinghe, he left Beijing with a few henchmen and rushed to Jiangxi to hurry up, and Liu Jin of Dongchang received the news somehow.

However, the news received by Liu Jin was different from the real situation, and the news he received was. The emperor sent Zhang Yongthey to Jiangxia to arrest him and arrest him and put him under house arrest in Beijing to prevent him from rebelling.

Liu Jin and Ning Wang can also be regarded as people who have cooperated for many years, and after getting the news, they immediately notified Ning Wang with a flying pigeon.

So when Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren were rushing to Jiangxi, Zhu Chenhao had already received the news that a Beijing division had sent a secret agent to arrest him.

Receiving this news, Zhu Chenhao was shocked, he knew that he couldn't get off anymore, so he immediately decided to announce the rebellion at his birthday banquet five days later.

At dusk, Jiang Xia and the others arrived at the door of an inn in Huacheng County.

Zhu Yujiang, who was asleep in Jiang Xia's arms, also woke up slowly, and got out of the carriage with Jiang Xia.

After entering the inn, Jiang Xia asked for a few upper rooms, and then asked the owner of the inn to arrange some of the best dishes in the inn.

Soon the wine and food began to be served slowly, and Xiao Shu took out a silver needle and tested it in each dish to ensure that it was not poisonous.

Zhu Yujiang looked at it and felt novel, so he asked Jiang Xia: "Taifu Taifu, why is Uncle Xiao poking a needle in the dish?" How can such a big person eat and play? ”

Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and patiently explained to Zhu Yujiang: "You Uncle Xiao are careful, he is testing poison with a silver needle. If the silver needle is inserted into the dish and turns black, it means that the dish is poisonous and will kill people if you eat it. ”

"Dead people?" Zhu Yujiang tilted his head and thought about it, Jiang Xia was really afraid that he would let him explain to him what a "dead man" was.

But fortunately, Zhu Yujiang did not ask for this, but stretched out his hand to Xiao Shu and said, "Uncle Xiao, I want to play too, I want to play too." ”

Xiao Shu smiled and handed the silver needle to Zhu Yujiang.

At this moment, the shopkeeper happened to come over with a plate of steamed buns, and Zhu Yujiang hurriedly inserted the silver needle into it.

When he pulled out the silver needle, it turned black.

Zhu Yujiang looked vigilant, and approached Jiang Xia's arms and said, "Taifu, someone wants to turn this palace into a dead person."

The shopkeeper on the side was not happy, and said angrily: "Guest officer, what if you don't like the little one to remove it for you?" ”
