The fight started, and the Taihe Hall actually fought.

At the beginning, Jiang Xia was still an enemy of five, six, seven or eight, but he was too powerful, how could these Wenchen get into him.

Then the people who dragged the frame came in, and Wen Chen was in a hurry, and the old fist was swinging. As a result, these courtiers, who had always had festivals on weekdays, actually beat each other.

There was chaos in the Taihe Palace.

Zhu Houzhao hadn't reacted at first, but by the time he reacted, the Taihe Palace had been fighting for half a day.

"Enough!" Zhu Houzhao roared loudly and kicked the dragon case in front of him out of the air.

The dragon case smashed on the ground, "Bang! There was a loud bang, and then Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly: "Come on, anyone who is still scuffling will be arrested and punished with a cane!" ”

Jiang Xia, the culprit who provoked the incident, had already left the center of the battle in a flutter, and it was all those Wenchen who fought in the back.

The guards with knives outside the Taihe Hall rushed into the hall, and no one in the hall scuffled. Many people reached out to touch the bruises on their faces, and they still didn't understand in their hearts when they were fighting with someone and why they wanted to fight.

After seeing that everyone had stopped, Zhu Houzhao shouted and reprimanded: "What kind of system? What kind of system have you become? The Taihe Palace dared to fight, and you were too bold to take me in your eyes at all.

is so disrespectful, all of them should be launched at noon! ”

"The emperor is angry, the micro-ministers are guilty, and the micro-ministers deserve death."

All the ministers in the Taihe Hall hurriedly knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say anything. What does the Wrath of the Son of Heaven represent? If he says that he will be beheaded at noon, then no matter how high and powerful you are, how many places in the world are protégés. That's also a death, and it's a big scar when you cut off your head, and it's definitely not any special than others.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at everyone angrily and said angrily: "I don't want this incident to have a second time, if I do it again, I will never be spared." I still decided to go and see about the southern tour, if there are ghosts and gods, I am destined to obey the destiny of heaven. If there is a conspiracy, I have nothing to fear! The Ministry of Rites began to prepare for this and set off ten days later. ”

"Wechen obeys." Jin Guidao.

"Okay, that's all for today, retreat!"

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and left angrily.

After the ministers left the Taihe Palace, Jiang Xia went directly to the Qianqing Palace to find Zhu Houzhao, and just arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Xia met Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, the emperor is waiting for you inside, go in quickly." ”

Jiang Xia nodded and walked into the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as I entered, I saw Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile: "Big brother, wonderful, high-spirited." It's really wonderful that this method was used to get the southern tour. ”

Jiang Xia didn't come to celebrate with him, but for another thing, he asked Zhu Houzhao: "You won't tell me that you really want to take a large number of troops to tour the south, right?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately said: "Of course I don't want to, do you have any good ideas, big brother?" ”

Jiang Xia nodded with a smile, and said mysteriously: "Go, come with me to the Imperial Dragon Exploration Yamen." ”

"Okay."

Zhu Houzhao changed into civilian clothes and Jiang Xia walked out of the palace, and arrived at the royal dragon exploration yamen without walking a few steps.

After entering the yamen, Jiang Xia asked people to summon Yin Renmian.

Who knew that Jiang Xia waited for a long time and didn't wait for Yin Renmian, but waited for a big man. Da Khan had an exaggerated beard, and the placket of his chest was slightly open, revealing messy chest hair, bronzed skin, and well-defined water chestnut muscles.

Jiang Xia carefully looked at the person who came and asked, "Second Brother Yin, is it you?" ”

"Yes, sir!" The big man said in a rough voice.

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, and then reacted. Yin Renmian probably hasn't come out of the blow of the last capture of the flower thief, so he deliberately dressed himself up as such a masculine image.

Jiang Xia pointed to Zhu Houzhao and asked Yin Renmian: "Second Brother Yin, you may have to pretend to be him for a while in the future, you have no problem." ”

Yin Renmian looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully, and then shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, I won't pretend to be a lady now." ”

"What? You say I'm a? Look at me, I am handsome and heroic, what is like a girl? Zhu Houzhao said excitedly.

"I?" Yin Renmian exclaimed: "You are the emperor?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao nodded reservedly.

When Yin Renmian was about to kneel down and salute, Jiang Xia waved his hand and said, "No need to salute, there is something serious to say." ”

Yin Ren's face let out an "oh", and he really didn't salute.

Jiang Xia said: "Second Brother Yin, what you want to play next is the emperor, this matter is very important, you can be wronged." ”

"Jiang Xia! What does it mean to be wronged? Am I wronged by pretending to be wronged? Zhu Houzhao was even more excited, looking like a cat with its tail stepped on.

Yin Renmian looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully, and finally could only nod helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Renmian made a human skin mask according to Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and then applied it to his face and made a slight correction, which was really messy.

Then Zhu Houzhao explained some of Yin Renmian's daily preferences and habits, and then went back to the palace to convene a meeting of cabinet ministers, informing them that he would bathe and burn incense for ten days of retreat, so that he would not offend it when he sacrificed to the dragon spirit.

This proposal is reasonable, and Zhu Houzhao has always liked Buddhist classics on weekdays, and all cabinet ministers have no doubt about it.

After Zhu Houzhao explained the affairs of the court, he chose to retreat in the Taimiao.

The next day, Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed as Yin Ren, entered the Taimiao in full view of everyone, and at this moment, Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao had already dressed up as the Jingshi.

Yu Jiangxia and they traveled with Bu Jinyun, Yu Ren, Leng Yu, Qianjuexing, Ma Yunfeng, Su Meiniang, Han Mufeng, Zhong Bin and eight of them.

For the sake of safety, Jiang Xia arranged Geng Zhongqiu to lead the royal dragon detective to secretly protect all the way, in short, it was absolutely necessary to avoid a little accident from Zhu Houzhao.

Out of the palace, Zhu Houzhao was excited. He kept asking Jiang Xia where he would go first, Jiang Xia's plan naturally didn't need to be said, and he took Zhu Houzhao and rushed directly to Yangzhou.

Why did he waste so much effort to bring Zhu Houzhaolong out? There is only one purpose, that is, to kill Yangzhou in advance, and kill those two Huai salt officials and salt merchants by surprise.

From Beijing to Yangzhou, it may take more than a month for Zhu Houzhao to walk overland with the large army. But Jiang Xia took Zhu Houzhao directly by boat from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Yangzhou, if there was no delay on the road, it would take at most ten days to arrive.

It's a pity that Jiang Xia didn't expect that he had just left the Beijing Division on the front foot, and the news that he was out of the Beijing Division on the back foot had already been sent to Liu Jin's table.

When Liu Jin saw that the news said that Jiangxia was taking people to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal by boat, he immediately sneered.

"I want to go to Yangzhou first to seize the evidence, and then wait for the emperor to go to Yangzhou to catch them all. This idea is too naïve, do you really think that I, Liu Jin, am those fools in Yunnan? ”

Liu Jin looked back at the two people standing in the room, one had a hooked nose, and the other had a white steel hook in his right hand. The Flying Eagle and the Silver Hook in the eighteen big heads of the East Factory.

Liu Jin didn't say anything to the two of them, just made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The two of them clasped their fists together and saluted: "The subordinates retire." ”

On the surface of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a large ship is moving forward smoothly. To Jiang Xia's relief, although Zhu Houzhao couldn't swim, he didn't have seasickness, so after a day of walking, the boat basically didn't stop except for stopping to buy food to eat and drink once.

Zhu Houzhao has lived in Beijing for a long time and rarely takes a boat, so this seems relatively fresh at first. In addition, Ma Yunfeng opened a gambling game on the boat, and he was not soft at all when he won Zhu Houzhao's silver, and Zhu Houzhao proposed to play with Ma Yunfeng to fight the landlord that Jiangxia taught him.

Ma Yunfeng, who couldn't master the skills, also lost a lot at first, and then began to slowly stabilize the situation.

At night, the river is calm and the wind blows gently.

The moonlight and stars are reflected on the river, and the whole night looks very quiet and beautiful.

Zhu Houzhao sat at the head of the bed, his legs hanging on the surface of the river, and said in a low voice: "There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case to work in." After leaving the palace and leaving the Jingshi, it seems that even this day is much more beautiful than in the Jingshi. ”

"You are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you may find it delicious when you occasionally eat home-cooked side dishes. But if you often eat home-cooked side dishes, you will miss the delicacies of the mountains and seas again. You were born with an unspeakable amount of money, which is why you feel that this ordinary life is very comfortable and beautiful. ”

Jiang Xia said, walked over to Zhu Houzhao and sat down.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Jiang Xia, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, sometimes I envy you, I can say whatever I want, do whatever I want, go wherever I want, free and carefree." ”

Jiang Xia patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder after thinking about it, looked into the distance and said, "As long as you have a free heart, no matter where you are, you will feel that you are free." ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, his brows immediately furrowed, and the three big ships in front of him were heading towards them. The bow of the ship was lit with torches, and Jiang Xia's extraordinary eyesight saw that there were many people standing at the bow of the boat, each with a weapon in his hand.

Jiang Xia stood up and looked into the direction of the stern of the boat, followed by three large ships.

A total of six large ships have formed a situation in which their large ship has formed a close circle.

Jiang Xia understood as soon as he thought about it, and he secretly said, "Oh no! ”

Jiang Xia suddenly understood that he had missed a little, he had always regarded Zhu Houzhao as a target that needed to be hidden, but he forgot that he was actually a target.

If you want to be foolproof, you should actually let Yin Renmian put on makeup for another person, disguise himself as Jiang Xia's appearance and hang around in Jingshi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia's mind immediately began to think about countermeasures.
